    Arecibo, Manny & The Battle Of The BK Car Services

    Posted by: AuthorErica | DateThursday, March 26, 2009 at 6:56AM

    photo: Edward KeatingNot sure how I missed this one, but NY Mag did a pretty killer profile on the livery cab industry, specifically profiling my fave car service and yours: Arecibo.

    Throughout the story, they follow Manny, Arecidbo's 18-year-old (!) dispatcher who wields the ultimate power in deciding who gets what fares when. It's like a loud, curse filled ballet that that kid conducts, as a symphony of "WHERE ARE YOU?? 5 MINUTES" erupts around him on a nightly basis.

    Oh, but wait!

    3/4 of the way through the article, Manny (by now the ONLY reason I'm looking forward to calling Arecibo), after 2 years of kick-ass service, gets his ass fired for a retarded, completely overblown misundertanding.

    WTF, Arecibo!?

    Well, now Manny is working at Express 11 Car...the company he was falsely accused of sending a fare over to (and the one run by a former Arecibo dispatcher Ramon). So, now I feel kinda torn.

    And in the meantime, we've started using this OTHER service that I'm really digging called Northlands (718-797-7100) (cars come quickly, are always clean, and drivers are nice).

    Who's your go to car service??
