Ex-New Yorker here: subway cars are a bacteria laboratory. The amount of people who spit in, vomit, shit, piss, ejaculate, and bleed inside of them on a DAILY BASIS is astounding. I don't even know if they could ever be cleaned properly, no less in the frequency that would be required to stop the spread of dangerous viruses.
Hence why I have a no shoe policy inside. Knowing is one thing but seeing everything you mentioned makes me sick. I have a term for the liquid that gathers at the edge of the street against the curb. It's called "The Juice" and you never want to step in the juice. When people ask me what the juice is I recite the words you used above. The whole tristate area is dirty.
Odd thing is, when you live there for a while, you just tune it all out. New Yorkers develop an uncanny ability to mind their own business and not get involved, haha.
I've heard this but then I've heard at least one New Yorker say that they are becoming a former New Yorker as soon as they can. They are moving back upstate where they came from. The grass (or lack thereof) wasn't greener.

Ewww, haha!!
If this is the future, count me out! I'd much rather be some lame ass loser living in the suburbs driving his car to work like some uncool person.

Canal Street station always smells of piss. Even more so than every other station.
Wonder if it's the homeless or all the Chinese slave laborers not being able to hold it in on their way home to Brooklyn?
