Seamless Meltdown, Blarney Stone Shutters, and More A.M. Intel

— Seamless went down on Saturday night, sending diners all across the city into a state of panic. The system was accepting orders and charging cards, but the information was not getting sent to the restaurants. People calling the customer service line had to wait on hold for over an hour to check on the status of their orders. The issue resolved itself by the end of the night, and everything's been smooth sailing ever since. Here are some of the best quips from Twitter:
