Surveillance Circle 1: Girl on bike, watch out for large man mowing lawn of coal plant. Coal plant, keep spewing out smoke to make electricity for electric cars.

Surveillance Circle 2: Your house is on fire.

Surveillance Circle 3: Yours too.

BTW: Why did you park there?

Surveillance Circle 4: The close-up is exaggerating the smoke you’re inhaling. And please tell the bicyclist to get out of the way of the truck.

Surveillance Circle 5: Didn’t happen here; didn’t happen today. Why do only vehicles driving west emit smoke?

$29 Ham and Cheese Sandwich a Total Rip-Off — So Why Are NYers Eating It Up?
nypost.com | April 14, 2023 | Jeanette Settembre

A ham and cheese sandwich at Eli Zabar’s E.A.T.  on the Upper East Side now costs $31.57 — $29 plus tax — and Gothamites are experiencing intense sticker shock over the cost of what was once a working-class staple.

It sparked outrage among eaters when a Reddit thread with a photo of the sandwich captioned “$29 Ham and Cheese sandwich” drew more than 600 comments and 2,000 upvotes on Monday.

“The first time I bought that sandwich I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ ” an Upper East Side psychologist who lives in the neighborhood told The Post, declining to give her name. 

“It’s not the best ham and cheese sandwich, it’s not the worst, but it’s just fine. I absolutely would not have picked up the sandwich had I looked at the price,” she added.
