The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

The month flew by! It is almost time to get a new MetroCard. It feels like I just got one though.
There’s always something a little depressing about getting a new MetroCard. SUBWAYblogger happens to be a monthly unlimited rider. I feel like it is the best buy since it is used at least twice every [...]

There’s a bunch of talk in the blog-o-sphere about subway peevs. AKA stuff that other riders do that bugs the crap out of you.
So, seeing as I am in the subway, I thought I would list a few.
1). Super old people. Yes, the elderly have a right to be on the train. However, if you [...]

Ever notice a terrible smell in the subway in the same spot every day?  Check to see if it has made the map.  If not, put it on there yourself.   It is interesting to see what is already on there.  As you [...]

No, I’m not Jewish, but I sure dig your holidays!
Both to and from work, it was a relaxed commute. There were far fewer people to battle with today. This morning almost felt like a Saturday morning!
Anyway, on to more interesting topics.
We’ve said it before and I think it is worth mentioning again. If you are [...]

I arrived on the platform today, and to my excitement, I thought the transit gods had smiled upon me.
This morning, there is no one on the train! A light crowd on the platform and only a few people standing on the train. There were even open seats!
Then it hit me: today is a Jewish holiday, [...]
