How to Celebrate Canada Day the New York Way
Here at Uber NYC we’re lucky to count a few Canadian expats among our team.

Read here for how we’ve been instructed to celebrate Canada’s 147th.

Meet Your Messenger: “Cheatdeath” Gabe
We met Gabe bright and early one Saturday morning in April during Cesar’s photoshoot for UberRUSH. Our obvious first question to him was, “How’d you get that epic nickname?” But there’s so much more to this messenger than meets the eye. New York City, meet Gabe.
Meet Your Messenger: Cesar
We first met Cesar through fellow RUSH messenger, Carl, who connected us when we were in need of an amazing photographer. With less than a day’s preparation, Cesar masterfully orchestrated our entire UberRUSH photoshoot, and quickly injected color and life into the project. (The photo above was taken when Cesar finally let us turn the camera on him.) New York City, read here for more on Cesar.
Meet Your Messenger: Carl
We first met Carl — how else — on his bike. Since then, he’s been instrumental in taking UberRUSH from idea to inception, acting as our resident messenger consultant. Did we mention he’s also an accomplished theatre actor? New York City, meet Carl:
