Good Friday afternoon in New York City, where the MTA needs to get more money, somehow.

New York City does have a new Guy Fieri restaurant in Times Square.
Wolfgang Zwiener, a longtime waiter at Peter Luger's who left to create the Wolfgang's steakhouse empire, has died at the age of 85.
There's a new smartphone game where you skateboard in Central Park.
Meet the moped king.
Watch out for Wet February.
