New York Times reports on some of the newest brands and ideas on the market such as Beauty Booster, a digestable liquid in a nail polish bottle packed with goji berries, raspberries and
wild blackberries

General Manager of XES Lounge, Tony Juliano, is just one of many small business owners who are bringing the ticketing issue to table. Juliano was recently cited for a no smoking sign by the employee lounge but the bar has been opened since 2004 and was never cited for this among other things.
How do you think the city would be able to manage this problem better? Do you think there is a bit of favoritism that goes into the tickets that are handed out?
