“Over the years, innumerable articles, blogs and forums have referred to the G train as the stepchild of the subway system. But that’s not quite right — it’s not the stepchild, it’s more like that unwanted drunk uncle everyone has. It’s embarrassing and awkward and doesn’t quite behave like it’s supposed to, but you keep it around because, well, it’s family.”
I recommend the “G train run” this Thursday for all the PLUSAs who need a workout. It’s only half as long as other trains, so you have to run down the platform to catch up with it. That is, on the off-chance the train’s pulling in when you arrive. One thing about the G train, though – it’s the only train where you’ll ALWAYS get a seat.
That’s true, DH. However, you can avoid the problem by getting a G train schedule at http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/gAlert.htm – the only train where it’s worth it!

Dibs – 7 or 8. That’s how I have to go too if I can make it.
8 Stops from Hoyt – but only about 10-15 minutes on the train (the G is fast once you get on it)
and a $12 car service home.
I guess it’d be better to take the V to 14th St and then the L. I suspect there’s a lot of latino eye candy on the L, si???
How many stops is this grom Hoyt/Schermerhorn??
Is this place going to be full of skinny white hipsters with tight pants , facial hair and really ridiculous hats???
Hahah sixyears.
If you hear that annoying “beeping” sound when swiping thru the turnstyles, chances are one is coming and you better hustle!
Wait, Dave is agreeing to drink in Williamsburg? The world is definitely coming to an end.
