The “partial shutdown” of the L will suck, but these chill MTA videos will ease your mind

Actually they REALLY won’t since the changes “may entail waiting 40 minutes for an L train.” The MTA is warning that there will be long waits and trains too crowded to board at “certain times.” And don’t even get us started on the bus situation on 14th Street — critics of the plans worry that they will crawl […]

There’s a “What the L?” beer made specifically for confused L train commuters

There’s a “What the L?” beer made specifically for confused L train commuters

What the L? is a helles style lager from Blue Point brewery.
