The NY Times asked former Mayor Ed Koch about his Sunday routine and one of the West Village resident's activities is related to citrus: "I’ll go to Fairway because I love their orange juice. I’ll get the half-gallon container, which, believe it or not, I drink in two days. Sometimes all I get is the orange juice. I love orange juice. When I don’t feel like schlepping all the way up to the Upper West Side, I’ll go to Citarella, on Ninth Street and Sixth Avenue. But it’s not such a good buy. I probably drink, I’d say, three gallons of orange juice in a week. It’s refreshing." Refreshing enough for fixing Albany?
