From Tourists to Subway Pros

While in New York City, we did not do much of the normal stuff, you know check out the view from the top of the Empire State building, shop, or check out the club or bar scene but we did find our way to Times Square. We stayed out in Queens, a few blocks from the Mets home, so we had to rely on the subway to get to Manhattan and our main destination, Yankee Stadium.

Getting to Manhattan and Times Square was not difficult for us at all. We got on the 7 train at the beginning and got off at the end in the middle of Times Square. Since our time was short there, we wandered aimlessly along the streets, stopping for Starbucks and the Yankees clubhouse before jumping back on the subway to head to the Bronx. We made the switch at Grand Central Station to the northbound train into the Bronx a lot more complicated than it had to be but we ended up at Yankee Stadium anyhow.

We returned to Times Square for dinner and had no difficulty on the subway this time. We did get off at Grand Central Station and walk to Times Square so we missed the switch but we would have had no trouble the second time. Getting back to Queens and our hotel left us feeling like pros on the subway as we had no difficulty at all. To us, it seemed like we started our day as tourists but ended the day as seasoned pros on the subway.
