[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] From Gregory Hotel Brooklyn Yesterday was music day, also Subway riding day. My Niece is quite city wise, and uses them all the time except that she calls them "trains". Actually the 85ft cars used on the IND lines (she had never heard IRT BMT IND until I told her) make them trains. First ride was from 86st to Atlantic Ave (yeah rah rah; I've now seen Barclay) and a recital at BAM where she is on the faculty (an Adjunct; nice name for a part time piano instructor). Next was Lunch at some place she wanted to go (me; take it or leave it). She leaves to go home to her kids as her musician husband had a gig. My Nephew shows up for a visit and leads me to some stop where R train stops and I'm back at 86st. This hotel is in sight of the 86 stop. Now begins the Subway riding adventure - to Lincoln Center and the Philharmonic - on my own! That was R to 59th, then N to Times Square, then 1 (IRT, more familiar with.those lines) to 65st. Had a good view of Manhattan X-ing the East River on the bridge, and even took a photo. Now on familiar turf (Midtown), I chose to stay on the N to 57st and walk from there to Lincoln Center and a tremendous concert. At 10P, the concert was over. For the return, it was D from Columbus Circle to 35, then R back here. The IND does not set speed records; I think traffic moves faster on 4th Ave than the train. All told back here 1115P, which is late for me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
