    While the city is between rainfalls this morning, Gothamist would like to issue several reminders:
  • First, the sidewalks of New York are not the beach. Please do not use your six-foot wide beach umbrellas in the rain.
  • Second, though it pains shy New Yorkers to make eye contact, please do watch where you are going while using your umbrella.
  • Third, your outerwear and preciously coiffed head will survive thirty seconds of rainfall. Please do not stop half-way up the subway stairs to open your umbrella, especially if it is a beach-sized umbrella. Stopping on the stairs only serves to dampen and annoy your fellow subway riders and impedes the otherwise orderly ingress and egress to our vast underground transportation network.
