Earlier this week, Mayor Bloomberg offered, among other inducements, a ten percent discount at participating New York City Applebee’s to all RNC protesters who picked up and presented a powder-blue NYC “Peaceful Political Activist” button.

The location of these Applebee’s are some of the few points of interest to protesters not chronicled in The People’s Guide, a free compendium of events, directions, legal resources, restaurant recommendations, hospital locations, and other valuable RNC-related material. “Intended to standardize communication among event-planners, protesters, media, tourists, wanderers, monitors, hangers-on, and friends,” the recently published guide offers a tremendous amount of info on the anticipated protests, panels, presentations, performances and parties that are expected to greet the GOP delegates when they hit New York City.
