Re: The Official How\'d you Get to Work in NYC Thread
Okay, you're the only person I know that wears a scarf and leatehr jacket when it's not cold.
I don't know why you're arguing unless you just enjoy it. It was obviously cold today. If you wish you had a longer walk then you should have left earlier and done laps, I guess. |

I'm going to walk to school in a couple hours and I won't be complaining, but it will be cold. If I was going to SoHo I would take a subway if I could. [/ QUOTE ] I guess that's the difference. I will almost always walk to the East/West Village from my apartment unless I'm in a rush. |

But to take the car out to go a mile, as opposed to a 15 minute walk accomopanied by the comment of "If you're suggesting I walk in this weather when I don't have to, you're nuts." is pretty sad. [/ QUOTE ] I wouldn't do this in NYC. I do it whenever I have to travel one mile in Westchester or anywhere else in the world. I'm sorry that makes you sad. |

[/ QUOTE ] What I find most sad is your reading comprehension. Nowhere did I complain or contemplate taking a car out. If my choices were driving a mile to work or walking, I would say my situation wouldn't satisfy the "don't have to walk" criteria, as driving/parking in NYC, especially today, isn't an option. |

[/ QUOTE ] I feel like we're arguing here when we're in agreement. He was talking about NYC, wasn't he? (PATH instead of subway talk tipped me off). Of course I wouldn't say boo if he was in Podunk, Missouri and decided to drive a mile and a quarter to work. To deal with that [censored] in Manhattan though when you have the option of a 15 minute walk, is again, rather sad. |

Re: The Official How\'d you Get to Work in NYC Thread
I was about to try taking the LIRR from Flatbush terminal to Jamaica and then to Penn Station, but then I saw Jamaica Station on the news, and gave up.
I just called a brooklyn location of where I work, and I'm about to walk the mile there.. |
