One of the things that has frustrated me in New York City this summer is the large number of businesses that keep their doors open. For a city that is as environmentally conscious and aims to promote 'green' initiatives, there's no excuse for wasting untold amounts of energy from air conditioners due to leaving the doors open during the daytime. Sure, it might provide passerbys with a nice moment or two of relief from the heat, but it's not worth it from a monetary or environmental standpoint.
Another irritating issue is how artists never get drawings of the Flatiron Building right. I know it's not cool that the cross-avenues at 23rd Street (5th Avenue and Broadway) both head downtown, but it's also not cool to change the direction cars are driving so that a painting is more aesthetically pleasing. It's one thing for MGM Studios to botch that in their Orlando amusement park, but homegrown NYC artists? Come on, now.
