late night metro--not good

After spending 2.5 hours at a bar on Friday night, I tried to take subway to go home. That was a super bad idea. It took me 2.5 hours from East Village to my house in Queens! I hate all those late-night and weekend services. I think they should list all the service changes on the system all over subway stations, so I can plan my trip back home accordingly. I got off at one station to change the train, just to find out that the connecting train was not running, etc. This type of stuff happened one after another on Friday night. It was such a disaster, going back and force on subway with my pretty but uncomfortable shoes on. ugh.

Lessons learned
1. check service changes before I leave when I'm taking subway after midnight or on weekends.
2. or, just take a cab home. that's so much easier
3. carry some extra cash for cab fare

Saturday night was much better. Went to a jazz performance in midtown with my roomie and friend. Vocal wasn't that impressive but the piano was wonderful. And I got home relatively quickly. thank goodness!
