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.
