New York Minute: MTA Hates Me

Second Avenue Construction

02 Sep New York Minute: MTA Hates Me

Posted at 09:00h in All, Life in NYC by

I saw that the makings of the escalators have been installed in what will finally be the home of the 2nd Avenue Subway.

Completion is slated for December 2016. Because this subway line has literally been (almost) a hundred years in the making, I guess MTA saw it necessary to work overtime.

At  11:30 p.m. ?

I mentioned earlier this week that I wanted to get into vlogging a bit. I miss doing videos and I want to add another element of storytelling to the blog. So here we are, my first New York Minute. A video of me telling a story, centered around life in New York, in under a minute.

First up? Living at the construction site of the future Second Avenue subway.  All I really wanted was a little bit of peace and quiet that night.

New York—MTA, really, said no, girl, no.

p.s Be nice, this is my first time back in front of the camera for my blog and I’m nervous. But tell me, what else would you want to know about life in the city?

    I was not ready for the 13-second mark, but… facts.

      It wouldn’t be New York without the random construction zones.

    Girl. ? I feel your pain, except mine is with traffic. Who authorized this construction zone @ 8 am- on a Monday?!

    LOL I loved this so hard, especially the eye roll at the end. And I 100% feel your pain between construction, sirens, and random loud New Yorkers having arguments at all times of the day. I feel like the quietest time in NYC is really early on Saturday and Sunday mornings—but it’s pretty rare that I’m up and mobile enough at that time to enjoy it…

      I agree! I love a quiet Sunday (not hungover) morning!
