Subway service on the W line is resuming Wednesday night after it was suspended most of the day following a vandalism spree on Tuesday evening.

The MTA said a vandal or vandals smashed 78 windows on 35 trains from the inside. It appears it happened while the trains were in service.

Service was suspended overnight Tuesday and for most of the day Wednesday up until the evening commute.

So many windows were damaged that officials said they were running out of spare glass to make repairs.

By around 11 a.m. Wednesday, 25 trainsets had been repaired, but hundreds of thousands of commuters were impacted by the damage before service resumed shortly after 5 p.m.

RE: throwing out good food because it’s not the food they’re used to

Hey, you call this avocado toast? And these poached eggs deserve a decent burial. And is this coffee fair trade? I demand some answers here.

“New York voters getting what they deserve.”

Exactly - as far as the overwhelming majority of NY voters. There is small (tiny) minority of actual conservative voters in NY (each with their own reason for remaining there). But the Dim majority is so much greater they only get a tiny representation in anything.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and I almost went back in time.

I went to a restaurant that serves ‘breakfast at any time’. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

If & when they do catch the perps who did this, I think they should get some sort of punishment that they will long remember even after a possible long sentence. Doubting anyone could get life for this, but the might remember a good caning. Yeah, I know we don’t do that here.
