On November 9, a tented space in New York's Duarte Square opened as the headquarters for “Talking Transition,” a nonpartisan forum for citizens to express their views to Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio’s incoming administration. In order to grab the attention of those walking by, black milk crates were stacked outside to spell out the word "talk." Above the entrance, a giant red arrow pointed inside, where more black milk crates hanging from the ceiling spelled out the word "here."

The Hot Bike comes with a mobile kitchen attached. The setup includes a propane-fueled stove and a pedal-powered blender. Owner Rose Slam Johnson can deliver to the San Francisco, Berkley, and Oakland areas for events of as many as 45 guests. The comfort food menu includes grilled provolone sandwiches, barbecue chicken tacos, coleslaw-topped burger, and honey-flavored hummus.
