The Van?
What I love about NY is that you can live here forever and still know only a fraction of what is happening around you. Brain-Terminal reports that there is a van that takes people up First Avenue from downtown Manhattan for twice the price of the subway. I'm not really sure how one would find the van but you can read the post and find out all the etiquette rules about riding in it.
In Brooklyn, there used to be (and probably still is) one dollar vans that would pick up people along the Flatbush Avenue bus route. I found out about them because when we were 14 or so Dawn Summers and I were going to Kings Plaza, the only mall in south Brooklyn and probably the worst mall on the planet, and the bus was taking too long. So, she waved down one of these vans. I was fascinated. I asked Dawn how it works. Isn't it illegal to steal the MTA's customers? She told me that if they get pulled over they just say that the passengers are their family members. Then she looked at me, the only white person in the van, with that look she has when she suddenly realizes something and is about to double over in laughter, and said 'but, um, I think you'd be in trouble.'

Kings Plaza wasn't the worst!! {you never visit NJ's epic; Mall at 4. Dive}. Anyway, KP had the hot Puerto Rican guys, Spencer Gifts, the bookstore, arcade and Orange Julius counter under the escalator. lol.
What else was there to do on a Saturday? Cruise the Magen David kids on Ave. M and Ocean Parkway?

Posted by: meep at April 24, 2004 11:58 AMKings Plaza is just so grimy. I remember seeing my first mall outside of Brooklyn. It was glorious. So clean and nice. The employees weren't mostly crack addicts trying to kick. You would almost definitely not get robbed on your way to the car. But yeah, no cutie Puerto Rican boys. You take what you can get. :-)
I know there are plenty of interracial families in NY. It was just funny.
