NYC Initiation List

Welcome to the concrete jungle.

You’ll begin to feel like it’s home when you:

  • Rush into or out of a subway and getting stuck in the door.
  • Encounter a rat.
  • Crying on the subway.
  • Lose sleep over your prewar building’s radiator causing pipe banging.
  • Experience indefinitely delayed subways. (Bonus points if a train pulls up and leaves without the doors opening.)
  • Can accurately map what train line someone lives near based on their address.
  • Cross the street when the light is green.
  • Realize that MTA = Might Take Awhile.
