Because Mario Kart Wii is launching next week, the folks at Nintendo have decided to treat “unsuspecting NewYorkers” with free cab rides in Midtown at 8 a.m. -10 a.m. and 12 p.m.-2 p.m. A costumed Mario will literally be hailing cabs for commuters at the Midtown Sheraton at 817 7th Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Streets.
