You might have heard about the man and his chicken on the 6 train, yes? A passenger casually rode the train all the way uptown while laying on the floor with his chicken. And no, it was not Ernie Anastos. Finally, at the 86th Street station, New York’s finest took action:

“Easy way or the hard way, pal,” one of them said. “You can’t be on here with that [pointing to the chicken], with this [pointing to the cart] or in the state you’re in [either an assumed drunkenness or an implied mental instability].” After some back and forth, they all left. “You’re going to secure that bird too, right?” one of the cops asked him, to a mumbled reply.

That’s the account from one of our patrons, writing on the blog Inverted Soapbox. He was on his way to the Adam Golfer photo exhibit , (y’know, the one with a photo of Snoop Dog) at the 92nd Street Y and happened to be on the train from Canal to 96th, because he traveled to 92YTribeca by an accident!

In the future, keep this map handy to minimize the confusion. 92Y is uptown on 92nd and Lexington, (Google map) and 92YTribeca is downtown at 200 Hudson St (Google map).

By the way, Adam Golfer’s exhibit kin*, which this patron thought was “awesome,” runs until March 11. Come check it out.
