This short week has managed to crawl by at the speed of a three-toed sloth while lacking any of said sloth's adorableness. And yet, here we are at Thursday, and soon it will be Friday, which means freedom and a daylong marathon of Party Down if you live in my apartment. Of course, the weekend also means weekend subway work, which, naturally, lends itself to lots of confusing service changes. Remember that nothing good ever comes from leaving your home.
Here's what's on tap this week.
3 trains will not run in either direction between Crown Hts-Utica Av and New Lots Av from 11:30 p.m. on Friday to 5 a.m. on Monday.
