ABOVE: The coffee options under Midtown.
1/28/2010
Just when you thought your office coffee is swill at best, consider the Sandhogs.
These guys out of Local 147 in New York City are hard at work boring new train tunnels into the bedrock deep below Midtown as part of the East Side Access Project which will connect parts of the LIRR system to Grand Central.
There aren’t many creature comforts down there, but at least they have options with urns of both Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. Being a member of the UAW Local 2110, I know us union guys take our coffee breaks seriously.
Reporter Martin Cassidy and I had the opportunity to take part in a media tour of the (very) active site, which was one of the most interesting assignments I’ve worked on in some time.
