Day 3: We now return you to your regularly scheduled commute

First Avenue, 4:30 p.m.

I heard the good news from a guy in an elevator. He just felt like sharing.

I went around more of Midtown today, venturing into Grand Central. It was packed, but it always is. Traffic was bad on the major arteries and crosstown streets, but it always is. I'd imagine that the fact that some schools are out and many people are out of town on vacation made this a bit easier. The Times says the subways will take 10 to 18 hours to restart, with buses moving sooner. I think tomorrow will be a great day for retail, a great day to eat out and a great day to visit friends across town.

As a bonus, here's a fantastic photo of the Roosevelt Island Tram (see above) about as packed as it gets, mid-river, courtesy of Flickr.
