These LEDs which indicate how long it will be before trains come have been on the L train stations for a while, but they’re being added to 2-3 subway stations. For the most part I only passively looked at them, but then I noticed one seemed to jump from 2 minutes to 0 minutes. I [...]
There’s not enough alcohol in the world that would get me to do something as horrible as this. I imagine the taste would be as bad if not horribly worse than the morning after a night out that did not end with brushing your teeth before going to bed.
When I was walking out of the subway on the way to kung fu class there was a rather large puddle of water at the bottom of the stairs. It was slowing down foot traffic as people were trying their best to navigate past it. By the time I got out of kung fu class [...]
It’s funny, but you see a lot of parents who really manage to just carry that baby stroller down the stairs by themselves and you don’t really think about it. But when you actually help out to carry one you forget that kids actually can be fairly heavy. Or maybe it was just me getting [...]

Okay so this one doesn’t really have a punchline, but seriously this was the worst most pervasive one I’ve encountered. I got out of the subway card, went down the stairs, through the turnstiles, was over by the Metrocard machines and was on my way up another flight of stairs and could still smell it. [...]
I saw this sign on a bathroom door in 34th street subway station. I’ve never seen a bathroom in a subway station that was in use. In the book “Sidewalk” they talk about how difficult it was to maintain the public restrooms in Washington Square Park. One reason was that toilet seats kept on getting [...]
Not that I don’t appreciate the extra security of the NYPD, but I wish I knew why they were always gathered in one enormous group on one section of the subway platform instead of spread out more into smaller groups covering more ground.
Seriously, that sucker FLEW! We were walking through the subway and this guy in front of us started moving to avoid this flying roach. When we tried to go around it, it followed us. We thought we got away but just in case we ran to avoid it only to see that it was actually [...]
