Update from Chang Chang owner Lydia Chang: “I have personally contacted both Tock and the guest to expedite the return of the deposit, as well as offered the guest a gift card to make up for their frustrating experience.”

Stand near Milkbar on 15th St and you’ll hear a loud beep every 45 seconds. It’s from an alarm to the left of Milkbar’s “1525” sign above their entrance. It flashes red as it beeps. (more…)

Since MetroHero shutdown back in July, I was wondering what the people say is the next best Metro app.
