Subject: Re: Walkable Cities
Speaking of public transit in NYC, DW and I just returned from a few days in the city and were delighted to see that the subway and buses are now "Tap and Go." No need for transit cards anymore (which will be retired completely at the end of December). Just tap with your credit/debit card (or even with your a "card" on your phone) and off you go!

We were fortunate to see American Ballet Theatre's gala in honor of Misty Copeland, who performed in three pieces, at Lincoln Center, as well as two musicals: "Buena Vista Social Club" and "Hell's Kitchen." Both shows highly recommended. (And the gala was an event of a lifetime.)
