I have been to NY before and while the public transit system is very good,
it is confusing if you haven't used it much (just like public transit in any
large city). I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally would rather
pay "the skin of an arse" to get to the East Norwich Inn late Friday night
when I get in than risk getting lost in NY.

Just my $.02
