The Subway
There are a lot of stories revolving around the New York Subways, so we were a bit apprehensive as we descended for our first trip underground. While I wouldn't call the subways disgusting, they are definitely grimy. It's all grey tile and sheet metal, so even when it's clean it looks dirty. Metro cards cost $24 for unlimited rides over 7 days which beats the hell out of renting a vehicle.
Dirty or not, here we come.
We took them everywhere in Manhattan, and got to know them reasonably well. If you were lucky you got on a car where a good street performer was playing some groovy music. If you were unlucky, you got a terribly loud performer who rode with you the entire trip.

Did you come across the 'Saw Lady' in the subway? She is one of New York's staple subway performers: www.sawlady.com/blog
I used to see her in the subway at Times Square and then when I'd get out there would be the Naked Cowboy upstairs.
I didn't see her. The best we saw in the subway was a guy with a home made drum kit. He had built it out of kick peddles and an a synthesizer.
