This episode is sponsored by Roberta's.

"The Chelsea Hotel wasn't as run down and tore up as people make it out to be, they just preserved the moldings and old doors instead of tearing them down and throwing them out."

"The bottom line has ALWAYS been money in New York City."

"7-11 pisses me off more than the closing of The Mars Bar."
