That is absolutely ridiculous. I drove into Manhattan recently because it was a complex day where I needed to make multiple stops for work outside and inside the 5 boroughs and there was no realistic way to do it without the car.

It made me appreciate my normal Metro North commute so much. It’s a fantastic and sane way to travel.

I take the express bus to work (Bronx) now. I could never go back to taking the subway daily. Way too much riff raff and non sense. And as a small Asian woman I make sure to carry pepper spray when I do take the subway because I’ve never felt completely safe taking it alone in the Bronx since 2020 after dealing with racial harassment (even got the guy arrested thankfully) Edit: Bring on the downvotes -especially from all you white privileged Manhattanites!

Reply to 16 stories beneath midtown Manhattan, NYC by PonyEnglish

16 stories?

How high is Manhattan above sea level? I always thought it was pretty close, so how they that deep without running into water I do not understand.Then again, I’m from Florida where it works like that a lot, maybe in New York it is all rocky and keeps the water out.
