Why, you may ask, do I love the A-Train so much that I devote an entire post to it?
First of all, it's an Express train. Last week it got me from Midtown to my friend's enviously large apartment in Washington Heights in only 20 minutes.
On Monday, it got me north of Washington Heights and to my headshot session, miraculously, on time. (Ever since I've moved here my flawless "on-time" record has been tarnished a bit - shameful.)
Today it got me to Brooklyn on the first leg of my new apartment search (more on this hellish hunt later....) and offered SNACK service. How many airlines even offer snack service anymore?!?
Well, okay, it wasn't the MTA offering snacks, it was Reggie... or Tommy... or whatever his name was, the self-proclaimed "Manhattan Candy Man," loudly marketing his 'fine candies' by singing "The Candy Man Can" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. And good news, folks! Today he had TWO candy offerings. Peanut M&Ms and Welch's Fun Fruits (since when do fruit snacks qualify as candy?). And... it gets better. Because today, and today only, the Fun Fruits were buy-one-get-one.
I couldn't help but laugh. I found his sales tactics highly entertaining, and, I give him credit.
Just another day on the A-Train....
