<p>I’m planning on going to Columbia for a lecture in a couple of weeks that ends quite late. I was wondering if it’s easy to find taxis around Columbia at night? Like probably around 10. I’ll need a taxi to go down to Greenwich Village.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s very easy to find a taxi at that hour. It’s New York City, after all!</p>
<p>you can find a taxi almost anywhere in nyc (the really bad parts excluded) at any time</p>
<p>I dunno guys. The city kinda dies after 8 PM. Good luck with that taxi!</p>
<p>Absolutely no problem finding a cab at 10:00 around Columbia.</p>
<p>The city DIES at 8 PM? I lived in New York City for 7 years!!</p>
<p>Oh, absolutely. I am currently living in a corpse of a city, one that awakens for a brief interval of life 7 PM - 8, on Wednesdays. It is during this interval that taxis are easy to come by. Many take advantage of this opportunity to flee to the beckoning lights of Jersey.</p>
<p>(How dense are we on this board?)</p>
<p>I think your response the first time seemed too serious for me to be able to detect sarcasm.</p>
<p>^nyc dies around 8!!! and you couldn’t detect sarcasm!?! wow.</p>
<p>Always easy to get a taxi. Unless it’s raining.</p>
<p>No I just detected plain stupidity which was quite obviously wrong.</p>
<p>^in yourself? 
sorry had to add that ;).</p>
<p>No, plain stupidity in a hypothetical person who thought that NYC dies after 8 PM. </p>
<p>Maybe you should keep those snide personal attacks to yourself, they might come in handy when people call you that.</p>
<p>^owww, feelings hurt now? i’m sorry…</p>
<p>^Case in point.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep, I was going to say raining. Or a part of town where nobody’s getting OUT of a cab and everyone is looking to get IN a cab, e.g., midtown in the early evening.</p>
<p>very easy on broadway, less easy on amsterdam and farther east.</p>
