Adventures Along The F Line: NY, NY

By the time we reached Coney Island ain’t no one else on our car

Flew into LaGuardia to take a bus that led us to the F Line and we were off to Manhattan. Thank you mom and dad for lending us your timeshare!

The F Line stops at Coney Island. It was pretty quiet on a sunny wintery day less than a week before its official opening.

New Yorkers love to make fun of their subway. At the Comedy Cellar last night Ophira Eisenberg told a funny story that involved a lunatic scaring passengers on the train. Trust me, it was funny. Another comedian pointed out that no matter what improvements they make, the subway still smells like piss.

New Yorkers also love to ride their subway. Over three million riders a day, all winding their way below ground off to the theatre, dentist, a friend’s house, whatever. And it’s been a heck of a ride joining them over the past few days.

Top to bottom: Walking across Brooklyn Bridge, waiting on the train and Greenwood Cemetery (highest point in Brooklyn with great views of the Statue of Liberty)
When not walking or taking the Subway we also ate and drank. A lot. Top picks are Poetica in Park Slope for the best coffee vibe and 2nd Ave Deli for their pastrami and matzo ball soup.
