Nope. Dirty Hippie alert.

Well, we're going to need more than that. Where in the heights? What time of day? Express stop or local? Where are you going? What year are we talking, because the lines have changed? What season? What religion is your protagonist? You are probably on the Lexington Avenue Express, but I can't be sure or tell you which train without more.

Q. What 11-letter word do all Yale graduates spell incorrectly?

A. Incorrectly.

I'm not a New Yorker anymore but lived in B. Heights and took the subway every day.

The closest station to the Brooklyn Bridge (if that's how you define the first station in the city) is Clark Street but that's a 2/3 (West side) line. You could take that and transfer at Fulton Street station in Manhattan but you have to walk through some tunnels to make the transfer.

The next stop into Brooklyn is Court Street which has the R train that goes up the East side to Union Square and jogs around on its way to Queens. I never took that line so can't say anything about it but the map looks like you can transfer to the 4/5 at Union Square. After that it is Borough Hall which has the 4/5 (East side) line which goes all the way up the East side. Depending on where you want to get off, you may have to transfer to the 6 for a local station. I think the 4/5/6 is often called the Lexington Avenue line.

See map: http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm

Kind of depends on where you are in Brooklyn Heights. From my apartment, the Clark St. stop made the most sense even if I had to transfer.

to reply to you and GGG

it's morning rush hour. he can live anywhere. I just need a line that goes under the river and need to know where he would come up first stop in the city. other than that I can make it work. I just don't want people saying that isn't the correct line, or stop. I thought Whitehall might be the first stop, or could be-


(okay bowling Green and the 4 line)

Use Hop stop.

it will tell you line. fastest way etc.

I just had a flash-sideways. Smokey?

Ah -- that's what you meant by first stop in the City. Sorry. Why does your character want to get out at the first station in the City anyway?

Yeah, Bowling Green is the first stop in Manhattan on the Lex and Wall Street is the first stop on the 2/3.

I was pretty sure I have never gotten out at Bowling Green; seeing the picture in the wiki of the outside of the stop made me sure I hadn't. For research purposes, there are good wiki entries on the subway line and at least several of the stops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling...Subway_station

bowling green lets you out at One Broadway. it is near Whitehall and the big huge NYHRC.

You know, TM has really missed you. I'll bet he has a big smile on his face right now like he's staring at a bright light and getting ready to move on.

Re: The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!
 

I'm sure he was lost; without anyone to flame=hard.

I hope everyone is well. Anyone that survived the financial crisis--it's all good.

all the best. just stopping in to say hi.

The Kogi truck is parked within a block of my apartment twice weekly (at least). And there is a medical marijuana joint less than a block away from that food truck destination. Coincidence?

No, but I thought MedMar places were like Metro stops in Paris.

I think the reason the Others took the children was simply because that was the only way to maintain a constant population in their group.

Farraday is not really a Widmore, Sayid's brother did not really marry Nadia, and Jack did not really have a son.

The Others did a lot of stuff simply because Jacob told them.

I think the time travel thing was done so that we would think the two settings for the last season were occuring on parallel time lines.

LA is supposedly shutting a lot of them down sometime in June. There was a permitting process in place but a bunch of places just opened up when the city stopped issuing permits. Those are all supposed to close. The one by the food truck hang-out in my neighborhood is one of the permitted ones (it is a general herbalist shop too and has been around for a long time). In answer to your post, there are currently about 30-40 places that sell pot within a 3 mile radius of my apartment. There will be 5-10 remaining in that radius if LA actually shuts the non-permitted ones down.
