Got home early Friday morning and as per usual couldn't find a spot good for ASP. Just parked and resigned myself to getting up early on day off (Friday), going out in the cold and sitting in ride for hour plus.

As am sitting there (with heat on of course) it dawned on me for past few years DSNY never cleans street on Friday after Thanksgiving. So WTF am I getting up for anyway? Sure enough just as with last year, and one before.... by 1030AM DSNY didn't come down the street.

Will give some props to DSNY, they did come round early Friday morning (about 2AM) and collected garbage. Buildings who waited until daybreak still have their trash sitting uncollected, and with storm predicted there may not be collection on Monday.

Anyway it just seems pointless to have street cleaning rules in affect if nothing is going to happen.

Yes, though the DSNY does clean the streets the Friday after Thanksgiving (at least on every block I've ever lived on and I was in NYC on Friday before I drove back to DC).

Most people are given off or take off that Friday; its essentially an extension of the holiday. The City seems to use it to catch unassuming people off guard and fill its coffers.

They would never suspend it. They probably make more money off of that day than any other.
