Best New Restaurants of 2015: New York

4 Things Tony Avella and David Weprin Get Totally Wrong About Toll Reform

No, the past nine years weren't just a dream and you didn't wake up in 2006 . State senators David Weprin and Tony Avella, the Queens Civic Congress, and a few other Queens elected officials really did put on a press conference yesterday to guard against the possibility that New York might put a rational price on the East River bridges, cursing the city with less traffic, faster bus service, and the absence of honking.
