December 15
...serving up your daily dish.
Still too early to know whether there'll be mass transit in New York City tomorrow, but some of our readers are already making contingency plans. That's because you'll need four people to drive through the Lincoln or Holland tunnels between 5 and 11 am. Reader Harris Teran, who lugs heavy equipment around, has to drive in, so he's looking for carpool partners. Let's see if Citizen Journalism can help. Leave your info and suggestions below.
More info on the (possible) strike and how it will effect tomorrow's commute here and here. Come to think of it, sounds like the perfect day for telecommuting.
Meanwhile, speaking of getting around, the National Weather Service warns of hazardous driving conditions until midnight, especially icy roads, as light snow changes to rain.
Wasn't looking for top billing but thanks Barista. I am looking for 2 people to ride in with me. Leaving @ 7am if there is a strike. Travel in a roomy Pacifica - everyone gets their own seat! I'll even bring you a cup of coffee.
I'm going to 7th Ave & 52nd Street.
Not sure when I'll be returning home but could keep in touch throughout the day.

For those trying to get to the east side, there is now midtown ferry service from the Hoboken terminal. NY Waterway provides free crosstown shuttles when you ride the midtown ferry. Shuttles run down 57th St. 49th/50th St. 42nd St. and 34th St.

Their website claims that the ferries and shuttles will be running on a normal schedule in the event of a strike.
