They don't teach Krav Maga at Wharton. (Screengrab)

Based on the minimal information in the YouTube description of this unintentionally comic viral video, it appears film producer and screenwriter Ron Senkowski was "walking between film financing meetings" in New York City on Thursday when he captured this instance of mutual thuggery between a pair of Wall Street types waiting for a cab.

In the video we see two nicely-dressed men of indeterminate age slapping, shoving, then grappling until one finally wins and slams that yellow door. The camera then swings rather sadly away, as if Mr. Senkowski was shaking his head sadly at the state of humanity.

We look forward to the ensuing slow-motion versions of this masterpiece set to "New York, New York" in the near future.

TWO GUYS FIGHTING OVER TAXI NYC - ORIGINAL - - YouTube.

The Observer has heard from multiple sources that W.I.P. (the site of the brawl) and Greenhouse (the club that it was spawned from, which shares the same property and address) can operate again, and will do so beginning on July 8th. A spokesperson for the club confirmed: W.I.P./Greenhouse has reached an agreement—"in principle"—with the city to reopen in the coming week.

Even if the legal injunction preventing the club from operating has been temporary lifted, there's still the issue of the club's liquor license to deal with. The license, which was revoked via emergency suspension on Tuesday by the New York State Liquor Authority, is still showing up as inactive on the NY-SLA's website.

On Tuesday, the club's management will meet with an administrative judge for the SLA, in which they'll challenge the agency's emergency suspension. An NY-SLA spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.

This morning, The Observer published a column by culinary bon vivant, chef, restaurant-owner, and writer Eddie Huang on the matter of Red Rooster, the Harlem fine-dining restaurant serving the nu-soul food of culinary darling Marcus Samuelsson, whose memoir Yes, Chef comes out this week. The reaction has been—to say the least—fiery.

Now, Marcus Samuelsson himself has weighed in.

In an interview with Paper magazine's website pegged to the book, the site got a question in about today's column—which was none too kind to Mr. Samuelsson's book (which earned a comparison to Rudyard Kipling) or restaurant (and what it means to the neighborhood)—in which Mr. Huang had a Harlem native, rapper-producer Shiest Bubz, accompany him to dinner.

Via PaperMag.com (emphasis ours):

How did you feel about Eddie Huang's piece in the Observer today, in which he basically calls you out as an outsider in Harlem?

I feel that the more you try to be positive, the more you try to make change, and the more people are going to have a point of view on it. It's not like he's a relevant person in this place, but we live in a diverse environment where people have every freedom to comment. I can live with the fact that we have created jobs and that we make people happy. I stand by our work every single day regardless of who has a comment.

We would dare argue: On the contrary, Mr. Samuelsson!*

[*Who, of course, would have to have some idea of Eddie's 'relevance,' having co-signed at least one of the same massive undertakings as he.]

The move was seen as payback: Google's new terms of service declared they would only share contact data with companies that returned the favor.

Facebook didn't offer to share and shake alike, and in fact used some clever, aggressive engineering to sidestep Google's blockade.

Instead of escalating the war on the technology side, Google is launching a PR offensive.

As Matthew Ingram at GigaOm reports, Facebook users who try and import their Google contacts will now see his amazing message:

Honestly, this is the kind of cheeky, informal wit we would expect from a startup, not a mega-coporation. Larry Ellison, watch your back, there's a new trash talker in town.
