Default Become A Real New Yorker...Take The Subway!

If you don't, it can become real expensive real fast. We went up for a wedding in January and stayed at a Marriott in the financial district. We flew in and out of La Guardia. The wedding was at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and a couple of other associated events were in Tribeca. Of course, we visited a couple of midtown museums and went to the theatre on Broadway one night.

Total cab fares for four days...about $300!

Take the subway if you can. If it's good enough for Mayor Bloomberg, it ought to be good enough for everyone else. He's only worth $3-4 billion!
