No trip to Manhattan is complete without a stop at Cafe Grumpy in Chelsea for a ristretto and a cappuccino (This time I also managed to get to Shake Shack before the crazy-long line formed).
I had to rush back to Stamford for an assignment at Westhill’s student newspaper, the Westword. So, while hustling over to the six-train to head back to Grand Central Terminal, I was able to look up the Metro-North schedule and even get track information using StationStop’s new iPhone app. Check it out on his blog: here.
Since I’m not a daily commuter, I’ve only used it a couple of times now but I’m pretty impressed.
I was somewhat concerned about its accuracy when I arrived at track 27 and there was no infomation posted on the electronic signboard, but the StationStops app was correct and I got a seat on an express train back to Stamford just in time.
