Lionel has a few words for NYC pedestrians

Lionel, the singularly-monikered lawyer who commentates on Ch. 11, has a number of ideas for improving transportation in New York, starting with a list of rules for pedestrians.

Don’t stop in the middle of the sidewalk. Don’t walk three abreast. And walk in the direction you’re facing.

When Lionel performs at the Cutting Room on May 10 — “an evening of monology, spoken word, extreme thinking and bluegrass” — he’ll also outline what he would do if he were mayor:

“Hard labor for anyone caught toting . . . lawn-mower-sized backpacks on subways; predator drone attacks on pedicabs; and limiting the number of mariachi performers on subways to 30.”
