For everyone in Astoria freaked out about the MTA cutting the W: CHILL.

I'm Chris. I live in Brooklyn. I like craft beer, geography, travel, hiking, biking, news media, and a lot of random things that are mostly of little or no consequence.

To get by, I work in advertising. I also host craft beer tastings.

I write about Rhode Island a lot, too, because I grew up there.

Elsewhere:
I have a blog about craft beer and homebrewing in New York City. I also have a less-often updated blog about transportation policy.

For those looking for other means of getting to know me, there's my original blog, my personal Twitter, my beer Twitter, Facebook, or e-mail at brewyorknewyork (at) gmail dot com.

For everyone in Astoria freaked out about the MTA cutting the W: CHILL.

As part of the changes, the N is going Local in Manhattan and the Q is going to run to Astoria. So, during most hours, Astoria, your service will actually run more often - one of the strange paradoxes of MTA service cuts.

As for those of you who head uptown from the 2nd Avenue stop on the F/V - well, you’re screwed. The V is being rerouted and will stop at Broadway/Lafayette and Essex Street (on the J) in Lower Manhattan. So you’ll have to cram yourselves onto an F train that just got in from Brooklyn.
