The subway wind will never cease to amuse me in New York. It is the unspoken cue that all the locals pick up on. People's jackets and news papers stat rippling and that musty,wet, subterranean city smell starts wafting through the station, means that it's time to get up and stand on the yellow line in spite of the signs waring you against it. You can pick out the tourists that way too, they don't get the subway wind. I always stand with one foot on the yellow line facing the on coming train so  that the wind will catch my jacket and it will look all bad ass. I do it in Philly, even though the subway wind is lacking. The conductors must get a few people who do that.
Other notes:
Even New Jersey smells clean after a rain. Princeston Junction smelled like juniper or pine trees. Philly and Hoboken just smell clean.
I'm going home.....(semi-ick)
