Thank you to everyone! She ended up catching a cab quite easily, to and from New-York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell. She has minimal subway experience (which will change this summer) and hasn’t needed Uber on her phone yet (but will get it).

She got a cab back down to Penn Station without any trouble and then stood there under the board for close to 2 hours waiting for the trains to begin running after the poor passengers stuck under the Hudson River finally got rescued. She made it onto the first southbound train that was allowed to leave and thankfully missed the mini-riot in the terminal that ensued after someone was tasered.

This summer she’ll be living in a Columbia dorm and it’s a straight shot up to NY-P/Columbia which I think (hope!) will be a good introductory commute. As long as she’s staying off of NJ Transit hopefully things will run smoothly …

I appreciate everyone’s assistance. Takes a village to launch an intern…
