Subway System in New York City

On our last trip, we used the hop on hop off tourist busses to get around New York.  This time, we decided to utilize the subway! 

We bought Metro Cards that allowed unlimited use over 1 week.  It was around $33 each for the cards.

And we ended up using the subway a lot.  We had a good time, and enjoyed the experience. 

Just like with the rest of the city, the subway felt very safe and pleasant.  Everyone uses it.

We did have one very ODD moment in the subway tunnels.  We were going to catch a train, and rounded a corner going towards it.  Well, as we rounded that corner, there was a lady.... lets just say going to the bathroom.  She was being as hidden as possible, which wasn't very much.  We tried to ignore her though she did say she was sorry as we passed by.  We did notice others (families with children) having to pass her too as they went to and from trains and exits.

BUT, let me stress that ALL of our other experiences in the subway were great.  People seemed pleasant and happy.
