I'm just glad to know where I can warm up my lunch when I'm in town.

The cracked concrete floor of the men’s room looked like it had not been mopped in years. But on the plus side, on the frigid day of our visit, the room was toasty hot.

So hot that someone had wedged takeout Chinese food between the scalding radiator and the wall, possibly to keep it warm — a full container of shrimp-fried rice and brown-breaded nuggets.

Trash fires are one of the big reasons subways get delayed. That and sick passengers. So right there in that picture you have your cause and/or effect.
