Friday morning, I joined Chris Occhipinti on his usual commute to work: a 45 minute express train ride to Hoboken and then an underwater subway ride to get to Manhattan. You really tend to forget it's underwater though; it looks pretty normal.
Chris O. on the train.
Hoboken Train Station
The financial district from the train station. (Will be there soon enough!)
Chris works for MLB.com. Their office is on the 7th floor of Chelsea Market - a fairly popular food court-type area with a few clothing shops. From what I could tell, none of the shops were chains. We had breakfast around 9:30, before he had to be in for work.
Bagels and coffee. Also, the first time of many that I am told to pay with cash - not a card.
Close to our seats; bagel place on the left.
A cool area in the Chelsea Market. Rebelliously, I did not take a picture of the small indoor waterfall that seemed very popular and photogenic.
I feel like I've seen this area online, in a youtube video or something...
I had never seen parking lots that double stacked cars until New York.
Tribeca Theater; this area is home to the Tribeca Film Festival.
I had to get a hot dog from a hot dog stand in New York.
Oh man, it looks so good.
Oh yes.
Flattering myself on the streets.
I didn't want to risk asking a scary New Yorker to take my picture.
Interesting factoid: People in New York are not mean. In fact, almost everyone I talked to was very nice and very helpful. In fact, the only mean person I came across was a lady that I saw right after I thought to myself that no one in New York was mean.
She started walking across the road right when the light turned green and the taxis were going to have none of it. So they just started going and she had to jump out of the way. She proceeded to scream at them and call the driver a "Stupid n____, dumb black motherf_____." So yea, other than that, everyone was cool. Well it was kind of cool to see a lady lose her shit for no reason in the middle of the city. Take a chill pill, girl.
