#25 Riding the subway is the quintessential NY experience.

At any moment, an a cappella group might join your car, or you might happen upon a group of Michael Jacksonesque dancers in the station.

Or maybe you’re taking a long ride uptown, and your car is like this one, just a quiet place to marvel at how the subway works on so many different underground levels above you.

Either way, loading a metro card is one of the best ways to get around the city and have a bit of fun at the same time.
