Last weekend, it was warm on Friday (mid 60s-70), but with the wind chill on Saturday and Sunday, it felt colder than December weather! I think it was in the 30s. I had my winter hat and gloves, but didn't bring my super heavy winter coat (opted for a medium heavy coat). I used the subway a lot!
I also just discovered (not sure why I didn't find out about this sooner) that we can buy an AirTrain 10-trip Metrocard for $25. Supposedly it expires in 6 months, but people on the Internet have reported using it for a year or so. Anyhow, I thought I would experiment and try it out since I have a few more trips during the next 6 months. I am still a bit confused about whether it can be reloaded with more AirTrain trips or Metrocard money or Metrocard time (7 day or monthly passes). Does anyone know why the MTA has different cards, anyway? It's so confusing. My friends bought the AirTrain card and the front says Metrocard and the back says AirTrain. For whatever reason, when they tried, they couldn't add a weekly Metrocard pass to it. It could have been a glitchy machine, who knows. Anyhow, since each card costs $1, I am curious how to reuse them.
As far as shows, I saw a lot of off-Broadway this time around. Superhero (Kate Baldwin), Sea Wall/A Life (Jake Gyllenhaal), and Fiddler were off-Broadway. I saw Network with Bryan Cranston, and Hillary and Clinton with Laurie Metcalf and John Lithgow. Quite a weekend for seeing stars.
