This Sunday

Today seems to be clear of major road closures, aside from The holland tunnel being closed every weekend from 1 am to 8am, and a few small crosstowns for crane operations. The only closure at 11am today will be the Young Republicans on Broadway between 57th and 47th. You shouldn't be there anyway because Broadway doesn't go through anyway. If they need taxicabs, figure they won't be going far, so every way you slice it, Broadway isn't worth your time now, nor again.

But Sunday Has a few major closures - Streets I feel to have some impact are below- Copied from the DOT website:

If it helps you to know about a few good subway detours and closures. This weekend

-The L train is still doing its crappy thing, stopping at Lorimer Street in Brooklyn. That is around Grand Street and Union Street. It is a 5 to 8 dollar ride to where the train starts up again at Myrtle and Wyckoff. If your lucky somebody impatient for the Shuttle bus, might grab a cab from there into the city for anywhere between 15 and 35 bucks!

-And the A train is taking the F line into Brooklyn, bypassing TriBeca and Fort Greene, Brooklyn. So you may have a few more downtown rides to Fort Greene, 15 bucks!
