The first thing to do is get familiar with the geography ofstops you use most frequently. Locate the token cage. Check to seewhether the exits are within easy view of the teller, off to theside, or blocked from view by concrete pole-supporters. Next learnthe type of turnstile in use. Follow the hints laid down in theFree Transportation section.
The rush hours are always the easiest times. Just go throughthe exits as people push open the door. Also at crowded hours,people go single file past the turnstiles, one after another in asteady stream. Get in line and go under. The people will block youfrom view and won't do anything. Even a cop won't give you muchhassle. Some subway stations have concrete supports that block theteller's view. Where these exist, slip through the exit nearest thepole or slide by the turnstile.
Turnstile jumping is such a skill, it's going to be added tothe Olympics. There are three basic styles common to New York andmost cities and each needs a slightly different approach.
The Old Wooden Cranker-(Traditional) You have to go under orsail over this type. Going under is a smoother trip. Going over istrickier since you need both hands free to hurdle and it's aquicker, more noticeable motion.
New-Aluminum-Bar-Turnstiles-Which-Turn-Both-Ways-For-Exit-an d-Entrance-Approach it with confidence. Pretend you're putting in atoken with your right hand and pull the bar toward you one third ofthe way with your left hand. Go through the space left between thebars and the barrier. Not for heavyweights!
New-Aluminum-Bar-Turnstiles-Which-Can-Be-Used-Only-For-Entra nce-They won't pull towards you, and so, youmust go either under or over them.
NOTE: There is no way to tell aNew-Aluminum-Bar-Turnstile-Which-Turns-Both--Ways-For-Exit- and-Entrance from a New-Aluminum-Bar-Turnstile-Which-Can-Be-Used-Only-For-Entran ce unless there is a sign. You have totry it first. Therefore, it is important to remember which kind isin use at your local station so your technique will be smooth. Onceyou're through, remember in your mind you've paid. Ignore everybodywho tries to stop you or tell you different. If someone shouts justkeep on truckin' on toward your track. Don't stop or run. Insistyou are right if you ever get caught. We have been doing it foryears, got caught twice and let go both tunes when other passengersinsisted we paid. Everybody hates the subways, even the tellers.
FREEBIESClothing RepairsAll Wallach stores feature a service that includes sewing onbuttons, free shoe horns, and shoe laces, mending pants pockets andlinings, punching extra holes in belts, and a number of other freeservices.
FurnitureBy far the best place to get free furniture in New York is onthe street. Once a week in every district, the SanitationDepartment makes bulk pick-ups. The night before, residents put outall kinds of stuff on the street. For the best selection try theWest Village on Monday nights, and the East Seventies on Tuesdaynights. On Wednesday night there are fantastic pick-ups on 35th St.in-back of Macy's. Move quickly though, the guards get pissed offeasily; the truckers couldn't care less. This street method canfurnish your whole pad. Beds, desks, bureaus, lamps, bookcases,chairs, and tables. It's all a matter of transportation. If youdon't have access to a car or truck, it's worth it to rent astation wagon and make pick-ups.
GhostsIf you would like to meet a real ghost, write Hans Holtzer,c/o New York Committee for Investigation for Paranormal Research,140 Riverside Drive, New York, NY. He'll put you in touch for free.
