John decided we should try a different supermarket for our grocery shopping, so we decided to go to midtown around 83rd street and Lexington. We thought it would be easy, we could catch a no. 4 or 5  on the subway up to 86th and stroll back.<br \/>\nTo start with the Battery Park shuttle bus we took to Bowling Green has had the stop outside the Amish Market suspended for a while because of roadworks. Then we found the subway station was closed, so we headed uptown to the next one, to find that one also closed. In the end we had to walk up to City Hall\/Brooklyn Bridge before we found an open subway, apparently part of the track is closed for the next three weekends for essential maintenance.<br \/>\nPersonally I enjoyed the walk, but John and Maria say that might be something to do with riding in a bag instead of walking.<br \/>\nIt was interesting to do the shopping at a different supermarket and Maria is rather proud of the fact that she now has a loyalty card for a New York supermarket.
