The plain cold brew at Dunkin - with no additives or sweeteners or foams of any kind - is actually decent in my opinion and only slightly worse than what you’d get at Reanimator or Green Street. But the fancy concoctions they’ve gradually been inventing in recent years (e.g. the Charli cold foam ) can be excessively sweet to the point of being disgusting.

I was just there on Saturday. Beers are reasonable for that kind of setting, but prepare to pay $20+ for any cocktail.

Dinner is still pretty pricey. Easily close to $100+ per person if you're getting any apps or side dishes.

The menu at Jean Georges itself (not Skyhigh) is $218 per person, before tax/tip/beverages. I'd call that outrageous.

Well in these areas from a global investor perspective is different than from a resident perspective.

Also, global asset management is probably peak neoliberalism. I say that as a neoliberal working in that industry.

>Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing, especially through privatization and austerity, state influence in the economy.

I forget where I read it about the status of that building (its owned by Comcast), but this is what's going up next to it which is bring major density to that corner. The development on the comcast lot is after this first one gets built

“Schroders’ Global Cities Index seeks to rank global cities across four key criteria: Economic, Environmental, Innovation and Transport. It also aims to identify the cities which combine economic dynamism with world-class universities, forward-thinking environmental policies and excellent transport infrastructure.”

Sharing that our city ranks well among global cities in these areas is misleading? It wasn’t intended to be.
