Amtrak7 Posted July 5, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2010 Nice shots! Getting around NYC with only buses is easier than getting around with only subways, in my opinion. The one BIG exception is on weekends in Midtown/Downtown with all those vague, yucky, and nasty parade/street fair detours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabinut Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted July 5, 2010 Funny you mention that. 6th Avenue was closed all day Saturday with some kind of street event. The X10 ended up dropping me off on Madison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
