A Subway Series

Its a rainy day here in New York, yet there is still so much going on. I rode the Subway for the first time this past Friday. That was quite the experience. One of MKG's largest clients is, and always has been, Delta Airlines. On Friday I was asked to take the F Train from 23rd street up to 34th. Nodding my head, I jotted down the directions and headed to the subway stop to ask the teller for an unlimited Metrocard. "I only take cash," he said. I could tell this was going to be a disaster. Reluctantly, I hopped onto the F train and as the train headed further and further downtown I was hoping we would simply just make a U-ey and head back uptown. We were stopped somewhere on 1st street when I heard "Next stop: Brooklyn." Panicking I jumped off the F Train just before it began to move again and headed up to find the nearest teller, or friendly New Yorker to point me in the right direction. At the top of the stairs, I found a man donned in NY Yankees attire and eating a doughnut behind plexi glass. "Excuse me sir, do you know which train to take to get to 34th street?" He muttered letters I could barely understand because he could barely speak english. I took my chances and headed back down the stairs to the tunnel that led me to east bumble. It turns out I made the right choice and just so happened to stumble upon 34st street and landed in the Delta Airlines suite where I picked up a Hard Rock folder for an upcoming event and headed back to MKG...this time on the F Train.
