21 Greenpoint in Brooklyn, New York has a special dinner service on Sundays.

For $21 per person, you get anywhere from five to eight surprise courses, including items like mushroom pesto flatbread pizza and seafood stew.

And every dish is made with ingredients leftover from the week.

The goal of the Sunday service is to reduce the restaurant's food waste, according to owner Homer Murray (son of Bill). Nationwide, about50% of all produce in the US is thrown away, which adds up to some 60 million tons (or $160 billion) worth of produce annually.

"We're concerned with the idea of food waste — all the stuff that gets thrown away," Murray says. "It seems like a crime against humanity, to see this food being tossed out."

We decided to try it last weekend. Check out our visit below.

21 Greenpoint is located on the waterfront of Greenpoint, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. You can see the East River from the entrance.

Owner Homer Murray (who has a famous dad named Bill) says he realized food was his passion at 19, when he started cooking at Murray Brothers, his family's restaurant in Myrtle Beach, Florida. He made simple things like salsa and shrimp cocktail. "It was an excuse to meet girls," he says.

When asked what Bill thinks of the food, Homer says, “I bet he would tell you it’s his favorite restaurant in Brooklyn, and he wouldn’t be lying.”

The kitchen staff wears red beanies as an homage to "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," a 2004 Bill Murray film. Homer has one, too.

“The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah recently bought a duplex penthouse in New York City, the South African comedian's new home, for $10 million.

Noah's 3,596-square-foot apartment occupies the 17th and 18th floors of a building in midtown Manhattan. Before he bought the penthouse, Noah was renting a two-bedroom unit in the same building, where his rent was $15,000 a month. 

The two-floor apartment has gorgeous views, minimal and modern design, and tons of space, especially for a city like New York.

But it seems like location was the biggest factor in Noah’s decision: The building is only four blocks away from “The Daily Show” studio on 11th avenue.

The penthouse is located in Stella Tower, a former telephone building in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan.

The Art Deco tower was designed by Ralph Walker in 1927. 

It’s got dynamite views of midtown Manhattan, including the Empire State Building.

It has three bedrooms, three full baths, and two half-baths.

Day One

8:30 a.m. — Wake up and go to the gym in my building while my boyfriend makes coffee and breakfast (lucky girl). He uses stuff we already have in the fridge. Afterwards, we take our two dogs to a big park in our neighborhood.

11 a.m. — On the way home from the park we stop at a local bakery for treats. I grab something for both of us which comes to $6.

3 p.m. — I should go get groceries but I feel more like shopping. I need to grab a few more things before the sales all end because I’m hitting up Thailand in a few months. I spend $40 on a sleeveless shirt at Saks Off Fifth nearby. $40

Daily Total: $46

Day Two

6:30 a.m. — I wake up and go to gym in my building. For breakfast I scrounge for leftovers and make a simple egg sandwich.

8:30 a.m. — I drive to work today because I have a meeting later and it’s raining. I grab an Americano at the cafe by my office. $2.75

1 p.m. — Parking at my meeting costs me $3.50. I realize I grabbed the wrong umbrella on the way out and ended up with a serious downgrade. $3.50

2:30 p.m. — When I get back to the office all of the free parking is taken so I pay to park for the rest of the day. $6.75

6 p.m. — My boyfriend and I have tickets to see the Blue Jays vs. the Yankees. They're cheap seats I picked up a few weeks ago. My coworker and her husband are also going so we meet up at a pub between my office and the stadium beforehand. I cover my boyfriend’s and my beers, along with a wrap I have to avoid eating ballpark food. With tip, the bill comes out to $38.24

8:30 p.m. — The BF grabs us drinks when we get to the game so I get us ice cream to finish off the date night. They come to $6 for kiddie-sized cones, which is way more than enough. $6

Daily Total: $57.24

Day Three

8 a.m. — Today I grab a yogurt for breakfast because we still haven’t bought groceries. I get a $3 coffee on the way to the subway and it costs me $3.25 to get to work. Total: $6.25.

12:30 p.m. — My coworker and I take turns treating each other to lunch. Today I get us avocado grilled-cheese sandwiches with side salads for $31.18. Not cheap, but at least decently healthy. $31.18

2 p.m. — I get a text from the BF, who runs his own company and therefore makes his own hours, saying that he got groceries. Score. He spent $37.95 on broccoli, mushrooms, celery, carrot, potatoes, peppers, bread, cheese, coffee, pasta, sauce, zucchini. I’ll grab the next grocery bill, which is our usual arrangement.

6:30 p.m. — Before an industry networking meet-up, I get drinks to discuss a talk I'll be giving at an conference next month with the event organizer. I cover our bill which is only $22.21. The cab here was $12.35 but because it was work-related I put it on our business Uber account. $22.21

8:30 p.m. — I’m starving. I thought this meet-up would have free snacks, but I have to settle for free drinks instead. Now I need food. I remember I have a credit on Ritual, an app for ordering takeout, so I get a small pizza for only $4.59 on my way home. $4.59

Daily Total: $64.23

While most New Yorkers prefer to steer clear of Times Square, it's a popular spot among tourists.

But while the area is known for its many big chain restaurants, it's also home to some much smaller, quality eateries.

We asked Yelp to help us find the best options. Below are the 13 best restaurants in or near Times Square based on number of reviews and star ratings.

Keep scrolling to see where you should be eating when you find yourself in this neck of the woods.

13. Simon Sips

Tucked away inside an office building, Simon Sips is a true hidden gem, best known for its coffee and latte art. The cafe also offers pastries and quick meals like oatmeal and avocado toast that are easy to take on the go.

• Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration where participants throw powdered paint, creating a kaleidoscope of color.
• This year, the festival takes place on March 13 - 14.
• While the most famous Holi festival is in India, it's celebrated all over the world.  

Holi, the Hindu festival devoted to color, is one of the world's biggest spring events.

Participants celebrate the Festival of Colors by throwing powdered paint on the day after the last full moon of Phalunga, the Hindu lunar month that goes from February to March. In 2017, Holi falls on March 13.

Though Holi is celebrated predominately in India, paint-throwing festivities take place all over the world.

However, these photos prove there's no better place than India to celebrate.

Holi is a Hindu celebration of colors that takes place each spring.

It's a major festival in India, especially in the north, but it's celebrated worldwide.

The festivities bring people of all classes and castes together.

QS produces a comprehensive ranking of the world's best universities, broken down by region and subject.

QS's latest ranking was released on Wednesday, tracking the best schools on the planet in 46 different subject areas, including standard subjects like business and history, all the way to more obscure degrees such as mining.

In total, 18 different universities are considered to be the best in the world in at least one of the 46 subjects, although 15 schools top only one, with three taking the top spot in a combined 31 different subjects.

The three highest scoring universities are perhaps unsurprising given their huge prestige, but many of the other schools featured are less well known and specialize in one or two areas.

Check out the list below. The number in brackets represents the number of academic disciplines each university topped QS' ranking in.

Wageningen University (1) — Located in the Dutch town of Wageningen, around 50 miles from the capital, Amsterdam, this university is paradise for students wanting to study degrees related to agriculture and forestry.

Royal College of Art (1) — For the second consecutive year, London's RCA is the best place on earth to study art and design focused subjects.

University of Southern California (1) — USC ranks first in QS’ ranking for doing a degree in communications and media studies. The school also excels at varsity sports.

Tower Bridge is arguably one of the capital's most impressive and well-known landmarks.

However, a replica of the bridge exists in China — and it's twice the size.

The structure, which spans a river in the city of Suzhou, is 131 feet tall, and has four turrets instead of two, cost the country £9.4 million to build, according to The Sun.

This isn't the only iconic structure the country has copied.

China is also home to fake versions of the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, and the White House. A £160 million life-sized copy of the Titanic is also reported to be in the works. 

So how do these knock-offs measure up?

Scroll down to see 17 versions of iconic landmarks from around the world that you can visit in China.

Melia Robinson contributed to an earlier version of this story.

A double-sized replica of London's Tower Bridge exists over Yuanhe Pond in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. It was built in 2012, but only attracted global attention when new photos were released last month.

While it does not have a rising bridge, it has a dual carriageway, allowing for more cars in the heavily populated country.

This is hardly the only landmark replica that exists in the country. A model of Athens' Parthenon has also been built at a theme park in Lanzhou, Gansu Province.

From the fame and fortune to the title and power, it's easy to see the appeal of being royal.

Throughout history, a number of normal people have claimed to be heirs to the throne in various royal families.

While some have been immediately disproven, a number have continued to be investigated, even after their death.

For David Drew Howe of Maryland, USA, a claim to the throne of the Isle of Man even resulted in a reality TV show following his fight to gain his title.

From modern day, working Americans claiming to be the King of England to a history steeped with Russian impostors, scroll on to see six of the most interesting people who have claimed to be royal.

Allan V. Evans — King of England

Allan V. Evans from Colorado, took out a giant ad in The Times earlier this month claiming to be the rightful King of England.

Evans, who says he is a descendant of a royal Welsh line from the 3rd century, said in the ad that he was giving "legal notice" to all of his relatives, and in 30 days would claim his "royal historic estate," as well as land, assets, and titles.

But he will wait for the death of Queen Elizabeth II to clinch his throne, he said, out of respect to her service to the country.

David Drew Howe — King of the Isle of Man

Auto-repair specialist David Drew Howe of Maryland, USA, claimed to be the heir to the throne of the Isle of Man and cousin to the Queen.

Howe made the discovery while researching his family ancestry online, according to The Daily Mail, and filed a notice of his intention to claim his title in the London Gazette in January 2007, which is the official journal of record for the British government. When his notice wasn't contested, he posted an "

When his notice wasn't contested, he posted an "official press release" claiming that as of April 2007, he was "fully legalised as the unchallenged lawful heir general and de jure King of the Independent Kingdom of Man."

A programme called "Suddenly Royal" on American TV network TLC followed Howe, his wife, Pam, and daughter, Grace as they travelled to the Isle of Man in 2015 to claim the title. They also learnt how to be royal with the help of an adviser and etiquette coach.

"Even though officially I am the king that doesn't really mean anything unless we can win the people of Isle of Man over," Howe said. He also claimed that he had been invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, but wasn't able to make the trip.

Katherine and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon — The Queen's 'Secret Sisters'

While there has never been doubt that Katherine and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon are in fact royal, little was known about the nieces of Queen Elizabeth – the Queen Mother — until a Channel 4 documentary titled "The Queen's Hidden Cousins" aired in 2011.

The documentary suggested that the Royal family behaved poorly towards Nerissa and Katherine, both of whom were disabled, according to The Telegraph. It was thought their mental disability was "a threat to society" at the time the sisters were born.

The two sisters were the children of John and Fenella Bowes-Lyon, the older brother and sister-in-law of Queen Elizabeth. "The Queen's Hidden Cousins" suggested John never visited his daughters as they grew up, although he died before they were incarcerated at the Royal Earlswood Asylum for Mental Defectives at Redhill in Surrey in 1941, according to The Daily Mail.

Nerissa died in 1986 at the age of 66, and Katherine died in 2014 at the age of 87, while living at a care home in Surrey — The Royal Earlswood closed in 1997. It was after Nerissa's death that journalists dicovered she was buried in a grave marked only by a name tag and a serial number, the Daily Mail reported.

The Daily Mail also said photographs showed a "distinct resemblance to the Queen."

The worst 10 airports in the world have been named and shamed by travel website eDreams this week.

eDreams evaluated over 65,000 airport reviews left by its customers in 2016 to come up with a list of the 10 best and the 10 worst airports.

While airports in cities like Helsinki, Glasgow, and Zurich scored highly, their equivalents in larger cities like New York and Paris did not.

"After analysing all the comments that were submitted it was also possible to generate the ranking about the worst airports in the world," eDreams wrote on its website.

eDreams said it took into account the global quality, waiting areas, shopping, and restaurants before rating airports out of five.

10. Paris Orly airport (ORY), France — 3.56/5

9. Paris Charles De Gaulle airport (CDG), France — 3.54/5

8. Berlin Tegel airport (TXL), Germany — 3.49/5

Between the end of World War II and the end of the Cold War, Japan underwent what has been coined an 'economic miracle'. By the end of the 'golden 60s', Japan was the second-largest economy in the world.

Writing for Forbes, Jean-Pierre Lehmann says "It is difficult for those who were not there to imagine what a dynamic place Japan was during the 1960s. Japanese, at virtually all levels, were outward looking, internationally curious and eager to learn."

During this time of economic prosperity, Japan was investing heavily in infrastructure and undergoing deep social change.

Historian, Alexandra Munroe, described the period as "undoubtedly the most creative outburst of anarchistic, subversive and riotous tendencies in the history of modern Japanese culture."

To sum up, this was an incredibly vibrant, tumultuous time to be in Japan — and it was all captured beautifully on camera. These photos are ordered from oldest to most recent:

Through background audio in video footage from his first ride on Air Force One, we know that President Donald Trump watches Fox News. And we also know that he spent an evening watching "Finding Dory" while Americans protested his immigration ban. But what are his favorite television shows?

Trump hasn’t exactly released a list of them, but we can tell what he's tuning into from comments and his frequent Twitter posts.

The commander-in-chief reportedly watches a lot of TV, particularly for a US president — so much of it, in fact, that people around him are reportedly concerned about it. Meanwhile, he misses most of his daily briefings.

"For a sense of what is happening outside, he watches cable, both at night and during the day — too much in the eyes of some aides — often offering a bitter play-by-play of critics like CNN’s Don Lemon,"The New York Times reported. 

Here are the TV shows that Trump watches:

"Fox & Friends"

This is probably Trump's favorite show. The president often tweets things that correspond to what’s being said or presented on the show minutes after it airs, or as it's airing. The hosts of the Fox News morning show also sing his praises on a regular basis, and he's known to call in to talk to them.

"The O'Reilly Factor"

In January 2017, Trump's tweets aligned with reporting on another Fox News show. This time, it was "The O'Reilly Factor."

Trump tweeted, "If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible 'carnage' going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the feds!" 

The tweet came shortly after a segement on "The O'Reilly Factor" that used the same statistics, and even used the word "carnage."

"Hannity"

Sean Hannity often praises Trump on his Fox News program. In the first week of Trump's presidency, Hannity got an exlusive one-hour interview with him at the White House.

In late February, Hannity criticized the president for being "a little too sensitive" to criticism, but so far, he's gotten Trump's ear more than most.

Some kids going to see Disney's live-action remake of "Beauty and the Beast" next week will get a surprise when they find a playground inside the actual theater where they'll be watching the movie.

On Tuesday, theater chain Cinépolis USA announced it would unveil the country's first dedicated children’s movie-theater auditoriums, called Cinépolis Junior.

Launching on March 16, the day before "Beauty and the Beast" opens in the US, the kid-friendly screens will roll out at Cinépolis Pico Rivera and Cinépolis Vista in Southern California, with more planned to pop up around the country in the near future. (Cinépolis has already opened these kinds of theaters internationally.)

Each auditorium will offer dedicated play areas, comfortable seating alternatives such as beanbags and lounge chairs, and even unique concession choices like popcorn flavors including Cheetos, chili, and caramel.

At a time when many theaters are doing more to limit disruptions, the gimmicks of the kid-friendly theaters horrified some people on social media, though it's hard to imagine a six-year-old disapproving of the setup.

Here's a glimpse at what the kid-friendly theaters with play areas look like:

Designed for ages 3-12, the theaters allow kids to show up early with their parents to play before the move begins, and they can play for 15 minutes after the movie. Cinépolis USA is also considering leaving house lights on so kids can play during the movie.

All theaters will feature beanbag seats and poolside-style lounge chairs.

Five years ago, a company called UberCab made a splash in San Francisco by letting you hail a car with your smartphone. Since then, the company, now known as Uber, has spread like wildfire through the globe. Uber currently operates in 58 countries and is valued at over $60 billion.

But the road hasn't been easy.

While its valuation has continued to climb and it has attracted more and more investors, Uber has also fought rivals and regulators as it has transformed from a black-car service into a sprawling logistics company gunning for a future of self-driving cars. It has confronted threats from the taxi industry and even its own drivers. 

It has also waged war against Didi Chuxing, its rival in gaining ride-hailing dominance in China. After a prolonged and exorbitantly costly battle, however, Uber China is now surrendering to Didi in a $35 billion megamerger.

In 2017, Uber has weathered controversy after controversy: A #DeleteUber campaign that cost the company 200,000 customers in a single weekend. Allegations of sexual harassment and gender discrimination by multiple former employees. A bombshell report of drug use and groping at a company event. Uber's own investors speaking out, a lawsuit from Google, and Travis Kalanick himself caught on camera in a heated argument with an Uber driver.

After a stunning, two-week string of blows that has upended the world's most valuable startup, we look back at how the company got to where it is today. See the insane and successful journey of Uber and its CEO, Travis Kalanick, as it has moved from an idea to a worldwide phenomenon.

"Psychonauts" is easily my favorite video game of all-time. So I was incredibly excited to talk to Tim Schafer, the 49-year-old founder of San Francisco-based Double Fine Productions and the creative mind behind this incredible game.

In "Psychonauts," you play as Raz, a kid who runs away from the circus — the family business — and sneaks into a summer camp for psychic children who are all vying to join the Psychonauts, an elite group of psychic heroes. 

SEE ALSO: This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen — and it's completely free to watch on YouTube

"Psychonauts" gushes with creativity, from the clever and funny writing to the quirky art style to the levels themselves.

When you’re not exploring the Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp, you’re jumping into people’s minds using a psychic portal, which lets you help those people by fighting their internal demons and sorting out their emotional baggage — plus several other clever, literal metaphors — as you navigate their unique and bizarre mental worlds.

I’ve played "Psychonauts" to completion three full times over the past decade — the game launched in April 2005 for the original Xbox, and has since become a cult classic.

Right now, Double Fine Productions is working on more Psychonauts experiences.

The company is working on a full sequel to the game coming in the next year or so, called "Psychonauts 2," and just a few weeks ago, Double Fine released a $20 game that covers the events between the first game and its upcoming sequel, called “Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin” — you can buy it right here.

"Rhombus of Ruin" also happens to be Double Fine’s first-ever virtual reality game: You can only play this game if you own a PlayStation 4 with PlayStation VR.

Having tried the game for myself (you can watch our Facebook Live broadcast here), I can say that “Rhombus of Ruin” is one of the best VR experiences I've ever tried and a satisfying Psychonauts adventure in its own right. It does a wonderful job of bringing you back to that bizarre, colorful world first introduced over a decade ago, and the puzzles and dialogue are just as clever and funny as ever. The visuals also look great, thanks to Unreal Engine, and the VR controls are very intuitive: Most of the game involves jumping into the minds of various characters, seeing what they see, and solving puzzles accordingly, a mechanic that works extremely well.

After playing through "Rhombus of Ruin," I got on the phone with Schafer to talk about the future of Psychonauts, building a VR game for the very first time, the new Nintendo Switch, the game industry as a whole, and much more.

This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

"We will build a great wall along the southern border," President Donald Trump said this summer, months prior to his election.

Since he took office in January, Trump, along with his Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, have moved forward with plans to construct that southern barrier.

"The wall will be built where it's needed first, and then it will be filled in. That's the way I look at it,"Kelly said last month, adding a few days later that it would be a physical barrier that may have fencing in some places.

Trump has promoted the wall as a part of a solution to cross-border crime and to illegal immigration.

And while an above ground physical barrier may disrupt or delay surface movements, smugglers have long used another transportation method that a wall or fence is unlikely to interrupt.

"Drug traffickers love using tunnels," journalist Ioan Grillo told Business Insider in early 2016. "The Mexico-US border is like a block of cheese with holes in it, with tunnels across it."

The "US-Mexico border is literally riddled with tunnels," Mike Vigil, former head of international operations at the US Drug Enforcement Administration,"told Business Insider last spring.

"They have to move those drugs across the border and probably the most secure method is through the use of tunnels," said Vigil, author of "Metal Coffins: The Blood Alliance Cartel."

US authorities have long relied on old-fashioned detective work to detect tunnels and tunnel construction, supplementing their surveillance with seismic devices and ground-penetrating radar.

But traffickers have gravitated to areas where geographic features, like soil composition, and surface features — such as drainage networks and legitimate construction work — obscure their activities.

The hard-to-detect nature of these passages, and the highly-lucrative cargo that pass through them, ensure that there will always be more to find — something Kelly himself has admitted.

“Many, many years ago, they were very unsophisticated. They weren't very long. They were relatively short,” Vigil said. The first so-called narco tunnel was built in 1989, by the Sinaloa cartel of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.

"You look at some tunnels which are very, very basic, and I've been to look at some of these from the US side," Grillo said. "And you see that they're quite basic, you know, shovel, get in there, and kind of dig through under the border quite basically."

Authorities found 224 border tunnels coming from Mexico between 1990 and March 2016, 185 of which entered the US. Most have been short, narrow passages, or "gopher holes," though others have been sophisticated works of engineering with lifts, rails, and lighting.

The Geneva Motor Show opened to the public Thursday, which means a host of new, wild concept cars.

Concept cars allow automakers to experiment with new designs without worrying about sales and, often, practicality. It's a way for companies to experiment with the future of mobility and figure out which features to incorporate in production cars of the future.

Scroll down to see the wildest concepts cars already unveiled in 2017:

The Pop.Up can easily unhook from its chassis for a drone can pick it up with ease. The autonomous drone is powered by 8 rotors.

There's no word on if we'll ever see the Pop.Up become a reality, but it does speak to Airbus' plan to build Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) vehicles for urban transit.

March 2017 marks the six-year anniversary of Japan's Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, a series of hydrogen explosions that were the worst since Chernobyl.  

Though the nuclear disaster itself killed no one, the string of devastating events left more than 18,000 people dead, and over 100,000 people had to be evacuated from the area around the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. 

Below are 10 before-and-after images, taken in 2011 and in 2016, of the areas affected by the magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the resulting tsunami, and the power plant accident. The images shown on one side were taken shortly after the earthquake and tsunami, while those on the other were taken more recently, after five years of cleanup.

America's infrastructure is in dire need of repairs. 

According to the American Society of Civil Engineers' 2017 Infrastructure Report Card, which is published every four years, US infrastructure gets a D+ grade. It got the same grade in 2013. 

The ASCE estimates the US needs to spend some $4.5 trillion by 2025 to improve the state of the country's roads, bridges, dams, airports, schools, and more. 

The report breaks down the state of infrastructure in 16 different categories. Here's a look at each category's final grade, according to the organization.

Aviation: D

Airports and air traffic control systems are in serious need of an update, the report found. 

With some two million people per day coming through US airports, congestion is becoming a major problem. In fact, the report estimates that 24 out of the top 30 airports in the US could soon hit "Thanksgiving-peak traffic volume" one day a week. 

Bridges: C+

US bridges are aging. 

Out of the 614,387 bridges in the US, more than 200,000 are more than 50 years old. 

The report estimates it would cost some $123 billion just to fix the bridges in the US. 

Dams: D

According to the report, there were some 15,500 high-hazard dams in the US in 2016. 

Dave Lutz, the head of exchange-traded funds at JonesTrading, recently released his annual "Spring Break reading" list.

Over 600 Wall Streeters around the world contributed to this list of great books for outdoor reading.

From science-fiction thrillers to business profiles, the full list is stellar, but we're highlighting only the 25 most frequently mentioned books.

The list includes short reviews of the books — occasionally by the person that recommended them to Lutz. 

Here they are:

"Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike" by Phil Knight

"Was expecting a tale of how Nike rose to global domination, but instead got a very humble, human story about regrets and perseverance."

"Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice" by Bill Browder

"John Grisham-like thriller, part business and political memoir, and in it Mr. Browder, an early hedge-fund investor in Russia, tells the story of how the Kremlin raided his fund, kicked him out of the country and perpetrated an elaborate financial fraud.

The lawyer he hires to investigate the crime is murdered, and Mr. Browder seeks to avenge his death. It’s a hard book to put down."

"The Undoing Project" by Michael Lewis

"...a compelling collaboration between two men who have the dimensions of great literary figures. They became heroes in the university and on the battlefield―both had important careers in the Israeli military―and their research was deeply linked to their extraordinary life experiences."

When it comes to convenience stores, many believe Sheetz has no equal. 

The chain has been locked in fierce rivalry with Wawa for decades, with no signs of letting up as the two premium gas station brands bring out all the stops to win customers over. 

Looking for answers, we decided to visit Sheetz country and came to a vastly different conclusion than its most fervent defenders. 

Here's how Sheetz fails to live up to its lofty reputation:

We arrived at a Sheetz location in Easton, Pennsylvania, intrigued by the reputation that precedes it, yet skeptical nonetheless.

Walking inside, we were immediately impressed by the cleanly glitz and glamour. Sheetz is bright, colorful, organized, and supersized.

Suddenly we're seeing why this chain with more than 500 locations in six states is seen as a worthy adversary to Wawa. The store is expansive and has an indoor dining area, something most Wawas don't have.
