Different kind of New york

During the Last three days, I've seen different kind of New york.
The streets were overly crowded due to Subway strike.
The view was like "All the Ants coming out of their colonies".
For me it was the fastest commute, I ever travelled between work & home as there were no cars allowed in the Manhattan.
Speaking of "Different kind of New york", I've also witnessed 2003 Black out & 09/11.
