After babysitting at the Fort Greene Observatory I woke early on the first day of 2016 and rushed to catch the 9:45 from Grand Central Terminal to Dutchess County. The subway was uncrowded and Lexington Avenue was devoid of people other than early morning risers searching coffee and a bagel. I caught the train with a few minutes to spare and left New York.
Someone once said the was you start the year was the way you will live that year and leaving New York was a good way to start 2016.
