"I have a huge apartment uptown and I never see any of my friends because I live so goddamn far away, but really, I'm still cool, man! I still go out... once a month. Look, I'm dancing on the bar at Hogs and Heifers and sneaking into Soho House! I'm not old!": 125th/Bway to 14th/Washington.
Old Fare: $13.40, New Fare: $17.30.
