    Did that when I visited New York. The conductor asked why I was staying on the train at the last stop. When I told him, he invited me to make the loop from the cab. Such a great experience.

      My Dad used to bitch about NYC and New Yorkers, but he never set foot in NYC and had no idea what he was talking about. I’m a New Yorker-in-law (my wife grew up on the Upper West Side), and every we time I visit, I am always amazed by how awesome New Yorkers are.

      I used to tell him: “Yeah, you’d have a rough time on NYC because you’d visit with a chip on your shoulder, and you’d get exactly the kind of reception you’d deserve. Visit with a love for the city, and you’ll find friends on every block.”
