Whatever Happened to Old-School NYC Cab Drivers?

Remember when you could hop into a New York City cab, name a corner, and the driver knew exactly where to go?

Charlotte Cruze, cofounder of Alice Mushrooms, joins The Foodfluencers on Hospitality Hangout for some old-school NYC nostalgia. The group compares their Uber and yellow-cab experiences with memories of drivers who knew the streets, traffic lights, and quickest routes by heart.

From DeKalb and Lafayette to “please type it in,” the conversation becomes a debate about GPS navigation and the local knowledge they miss. Before GPS, the cab driver was the navigation app.

New Yorkers: do you still get cab drivers who know the city without a map?
