Friday Bonus

Maybe you were a regular user of the NYC subway who now finds yourself working from home. Perhaps you came to the city on a visit, which included a trip on the subterranean rail system. Or just maybe, you’ve never been to the Big Apple but would like a taste of what a ride on one of the world’s largest and oldest subways sounds like. You’re in luck! Spoiler alert; my favorite is the recording for the R train.
