There are about fifty ways to exit and enter the Rockefeller Center subways. Many of them involve food, but this one, at 49th Street, on the west side, is the quickest way to a hot dog. If you’re underground, take the stairwell by Duane’s.

The natives are relatively ho-hum about the snow, but restless. There’s still snow from December piled around. We could use a thaw, not another foot of the white stuff.
Action @ the Columbus Circle station
