Well, as I posted in the NY page, I walked from 14th and 9th to the (Brooklyn) ferry terminal, only to leave when after 40 minutes, the line along the FDR didn't move. I then took the Staten Island Ferry and from Staten Island, two busses in total darkness (including waiting for a bus at Clove Road, which is a "ghetto" area), until I finally got home around 9:30. The bar in my building was open and handing out free beers and all of my neighbors had an informal block party. Power came back on at 3:30 AM, btw.

Actually, one of the better aspects of the subways not running today was the fact that I got a paid day off from work, which I spent sunbathing in a park near my apartment. No complaints here! :-)
