Take The Downtown Train With Tom Waits & The Coney Island Warriors But Be Advised No Manhattan Bound F Trains From Roosevelt Island This Weekend

Transportation options will be the same this weekend as it was last for Roosevelt Island as the MTA is reporting no Manhattan bound F trains from Roosevelt Island this weekend. You would think that the MTA would not interrupt subway service on a holiday weekend like Labor Day unless there was an urgent need.

RIOC reports no Roosevelt Island Tram advisories so Tram service should be running on regular schedule except for the larger number of passengers on the Roosevelt Island side due to the absence of F train service to Manhattan. Plan accordingly.

For all those who miss downtown subway service from Roosevelt Island this weekend you can take a trip here on a downtown train with Tom Waits accompanied by The Warriors of Coney Island.

The Warriors is one of my favorite all time NYC movie films. If you haven't seen, rent it.
