Day 8: Last subway

We took our last subway ride returning from Grand Central back to Times Square and our hotel. The crowds were as intense as ever and I'm glad we never spent so much time in the square and only ever passed through to somewhere else. The subway has been so convenient and at $29 each for a weekly travelcard it's been very good value. Stations are never far away and once you figure out the lines that are all indicated by a single digit or single letter, just as the roads are named by numbers, it begins to make sense. Signposting around the platforms are plentiful so it's difficult to get lost completely. It's only the heat on the platforms that are a pain.
