Rejected names included: The Asset Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility Cafe

Speaking of Maiden Lane (and who does, really?), the Hotel Reserve opened last December...and now the hotel has a new restaurant with a name equally as sexxxy... a name that makes you just want to ...




...think of large bureaucracies, prisons, central banking systems... Federal Cafe? Does the Board of Governors appoint the chef?

Heh.

The footage that GM and Segway doesn't want you to see



The story made the rounds today about General Motors teaming with Segway to build a new type of two-wheeled vehicle designed to move easily through congested urban streets and help Mother Earth, which we're all for. As Gothamist noted, the P.U.M.A. -- Personal Urban Mobility & Accessibility -- was tested yesterday on the streets of New York. "Miraculously, no cabs or Hummers plowed into the thing, though the drivers presumably sustained some damage to their dignity."

However, what happened on the test drive later is being kept from the media. Apparently the P.U.M.A. was not well-received.

Here's the footage of the test drive that GM and Segway doesn't want you to see.*
