The Subway in 2021

As COVID has raged across NYC, and the world, for almost two years now, so much of the city's life has been disrupted: the way we work, the way we play, the way we socialize, the way we negotiate our very lives.

But one thing hasn't changed -- the subway. No matter what, when we people need to get around NYC, they still use it. Even though I haven't travelled much around the city in 2021, when I did, the subway not only remained the best way to get around town, but provided me with a sense of normality, a sense of regularity, a link to the "before times", a link to my fellow New Yorkers.

It was like a second home within my home.

This article that chronicles the COVID year 2021 in the subway shows the good and bad of the subway. How it can be scary and comforting at the same time but that, at all times, reminds you of what a fascinating place NYC is -- even during the most difficult of times.
