The third day of Sandy holidays. To escape from tiresome room, I left to the midtown. Still the subway doesn’t work, city bus restarted their service for free. So, for New Yorkers today, their choices to move were limited with, bus, taxi, own car, and walk. Thus, most of the city roads were really congested, and buses were fully crowded. Today, I went to set up an art exhibition in midtown. But, bus was really slow and I only got 50 streets from Washington 168th. Then bus stopped, the driver recommended us to got off. I got off and walked along the Central park for a while, but finally gave up and took taxi. Though it was costly, I had to get to the gallery as soon as possible.
Today, I helped to set up of the exhibition, “Art Fusion: Japanese Contemporary Pioneers 2012″

This exhibition is still on going. If you go to the midtown, you can see that.
After the set up, I went to the Times Square and had a coffee with a photographer. Today is Halloween. Children came into the cafe and said “Trick or Treat!” in turns. Clerks at the cafe gave them candies.
Though there are still some inconvenience, gradually our city began to restore daily life.
