Cab – Pros: Quickest delivery, with minimal loss of momentum or inebriation. Cons: The question of who pays can be a problem, particularly if Greg’s date wants to discuss it before deciding. Ideally, they’ll split the cab, everyone equal and equally eager, but if she insists on taking the subway to save cash then Greg will look pushy if he offers to pay the full fare. Any way you look at it, a cab is problematic. Which leads to,

Subway – Pros: Gets rid of the problem of payment. The subway is democracy incarnate, the people’s mode of transport. Greg and date can commiserate over shitty service, and how there’s always construction on weekends, and how Sundays especially suck with tourists clamoring for seats and asking which line goes where and what’s the difference between express and local. Making it from midtown to Greg’s apartment amid this madness is an adventure they can share, then discuss once they’ve arrived. Cons: The subway is not a romantic venue, with its smells and general display of ugliness. Plus it takes a while, trains on or more likely behind schedule, and by the time they get to Astor Place then walk the ten blocks to Greg’s, the mood and booze may have worn off. There’s always

Cons: Walking takes the longest and they’ve already walked a lot today, feet beginning to tire, especially hers, and especially if she’s wearing heels. It also extends the conversation, which means Greg has to come up with new shit to say when he’s basically out of material. Walking is not ideal.
