Holiday in New York

Because my timing is impeccable, I am planning to travel to New York City just a few days after the transit strike begins. I am only hoping that this spectacle will be more vivid than the Paris riots. Despite my presence that the city I saw no sign of unrest. New York is a union town if there are any union towns left so it will be interesting to see where the support and sympathies of New Yorkers go. According to the Gray Lady:

Streets were crowded with workers bundled up against the cold, with a wind chill of as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit in the early morning hours. Cars were backed up at arteries leading onto the bridges, tunnels and major expressways that feed into Manhattan, as the police peered into cars to enforce the four-passenger rule, turning some away and letting others pass.
