Those of you with iPhone, iPad, or iPod (remember those?) issues will soon have a new option for getting service. We usually bring ours to the on Cedar Street here in Bronxville, but often problems require taking the device directly to Apple, so the next stop is the Apple Store at The Westchester (a pretentious name for a shopping mall) in White Plains.

Not for long. Apple will be opening a massive store on the East Balcony of Grand Central Terminal soon, in the spot long occupied by the solid if unexciting Metrazur restaurant.

So, White Plains or Grand Central? The former is about a 20 minute drive, after which you'll pay about $2 for parking, plus about a gallon of gas at $4, depending on your mileage. Call it $5. A round trip, off-peak ticket to GCT from Bronxville is $14, but if you've got a monthly, you've already paid. Drop off your pesky iPad in the morning, and you'll be browsing The New Yorker app on your train ride home.
