"A Cronut! A Cronut! My Citibike for a Cronut!"
All right. So The Bard didn't write that line in Richard III. However, it seems like an apt headline for a story that appeared in Thursday's Gothamist.
A Cronut looks something like this:
Chef Dominique Ansel created it and it's available only in his ShHo bakery. It opens at 8 am, but in otder to score a Cronut, one has to arrive before 7 and wait on line.
That is what someone with a Citibike did. I don't know whether or not he had an annual membership or was renting by the hour. if the former is the case, he is limited to 45 minutes. For the latter, it's 30 minutes. If he doesn't check into a Cititbike kiosk before his time is up, each additional half hour is $9.00 (for an annual membership) or $12.00 (for a one-time rental or holder of a seven-day pass).
Now, if said cyclist were to abandon the bike, the Cronut run, as the Gothamist wryly noted, would cost $1000. Cronut fans claim that is a small price to pay. As I haven't tied one--or a Citibke-- yet, I couldn't tell you for sure.
