You were there A) as a young man B) in the era where Guliani cleaned the place up.
The subway is not a safe choice for many/most, today.
It's time to clean up the subway again. Rudy showed us how it was done.
The City rocked under Rudy love the man. I am also 6 foot plus and was coming out of the service using my GI bill at the time too so extra built. No one ever messed with me even as a older guy with a skin head and huge Viking sized beard people just move away. It helps to have the 1000 yard stare as resting face too. My tiny current wife looks like a child next to me we get the how can you let your daughter drink when out all the time. I just laugh and say daughter you mean wife. Ha
