Uptown Or Downtown In A Hurry

No time to lose? Choose your avenue wisely.

 You’ll get there, but how long will it take? Being in a major city like New York, I recently learned that the north/south avenues (Fifth, Lexington, Third, Second and First Avenue) were quicker than the other East Side avenues. This is because they are the avenues with New York City buses (public transportation).

Worth considering the next time your are traveling in the city!

Tip: I found a company that donates free hearing aids to theaters during show times.
