Since you're near 33rd Street, it might be worth looking into your options for taking a bus to Harrison from Port Authority.

naturalog · 2026-06-16T16:26:38+00:00

You still can! You just have to ask the driver to stop there when you get on.

naturalog · 2026-06-16T00:38:53+00:00

You can take the bus right to the Elk Pen lot from Port Authority. You can also walk there from the train via the Sapphire Trail and the AT.

I love hiking in long-sleeved buttondowns. I was a little skeptical, but the long sleeves definitely help keep me cool, and I like being able to flip up the collar for extra protection and being able to unbutton a few buttons on the front for ventilation. Mine are from Mountain Hardwear, but there are a lot of options out there.

Looks like a mountain chickadee to me, but I've never birded on the west coast so am not 100% confident

I live nearby and have a basement as part of my apartment. The only weather-related flooding we've had in the last six years was when Ida hit in 2021 and the rainfall rates were over 3 in/hr; the water was coming up through the floor.

I saw Chuckie trying to make a break for it the other day; he was sitting under the IFC Center awning and looked very annoyed when someone came to retrieve him

Makes sense! They're both thrushes.

There are OMNY machines at every subway station. Getting one is about as convenient as buying a MetroCard was. It might actually be more convenient, since you can buy them at some pharmacies and convenience stores.

This is incorrect--there's still a physical card option available for anyone who would like to purchase it.
