On the other hand, a wedding or a “honeymoon” trip in a subway
brings up certain problems of etiquette which are entirely
different from the above. Let us suppose, for example, that the
wedding takes place at high noon in exclusive old “Trinity”
church, New York. The nearest subway is of course the
“Interborough” (West Side) and immediately after the ceremony the
lucky couple can run poste haste to the “Battery” and board a
Lenox Ave. Local. Arriving at romantic Chambers St. they should
change at once to a Bronx Park Express which will speedily whizz
them past 18th St., 23rd St. and 28th St. to the Pennsylvania
Station where they can again transfer, this time to a Broadway
Local. In a jiffy and two winks of an eye they will be at Times
Square, the heart of the “Great White Way” (that Mecca of
pleasure seekers and excitement lovers) where they can either
change to a Broadway Express, journeying under Broadway to
historic Columbia University and Harlem, or they can take the
busy little “shuttle” which will hurry them over to the Grand
Central Station. There they can board the aristocratic East Side
Subway, either “up” or “down” town. The trip “up town” (Lexington
Ave. Express) passes under some of the better class residential
districts, but the journey in the other direction is perhaps more
interesting, including as it does such stops as 14th St.,
Brooklyn Bridge, Fulton Street, Wall Street (the financial
center) etc., not to mention a delightful passage under the East
River to Brooklyn, the city of homes and churches. Thus without
getting out of their seats the happy pair can be transported from
one fascinating end of the great city to the other and when they
have exhausted the possibilities of a honeymoon in the
Interborough they can change, with the additional cost of only a
few cents apiece, to the B. R. T. or the Hudson Tubes which will
gladly carry them to a thousand new and interesting places—a
veritable Aladdin’s lamp on rails.
