Amy Schumer's 'Hamilton' Mega-Tip, Sweetgreen Expands to Greenwich Village, and More Intel

— While attending a performance of Hamilton over the weekend, Amy Schumer tipped the lobby bartenders $1,000 on a $77 bill. Her party placed a drinks order before the performance began. During intermission they got another round, and one of the members of Schumer's crew handed the receipt with the mega-tip to the bartender with the note: "Amy wants to make sure you get this." The bartender tells Gothamist: "We've served a lot of celebrities at Hamilton and we've received some nice tips but never before had I seen a tip that even came close to this one."

— Sweetgreen, the farm-to-table salad chain that's hell-bent on world domination, is planning a new location at 226 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. It's slated to open on April 24.

— A Jersey City man was arrested and charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon after he slashed a delivery worker from Famous Amadeus Pizza in Midtown over the weekend.

The delivery worker is currently in stable condition.

— Daniel Boulud is not planning to switch to a no-tipping model anytime soon. The chef/restaurateur tells the Daily News:  "I don’t think I’m in a rush to do it. I’m conscious of the impact — not that we want the waiters to make less and the cooks to make more — it’s just the culture of tipping here has existed for so long." The chef also notes: "If tomorrow they say tip has to be included, hallelujah, we don’t have to force it, but we’ll wait for the law to tell us what to do. Right now it’s not proven that it’s the right thing."

— Meanwhile, Steve Cuozzo ponders the problems that restaurateurs might face under the no-tipping system: "Many large places in prime locations don’t just pay their landlords rent — they also pay an agreed-upon percentage of revenue above a certain point. Without tipping, each restaurant with such an arrangement will now owe its landlord more, because higher prices to compensate staff will naturally bring in lots more cash. That means owners who famously grumble over 'impossible' rents might strengthen their landlords’ hands even more."

— And speaking of Cuozzo, please set aside one minute of your day to watch the Post critic review Girl Scout cookies. He just loves 'em.
