It's hard being a single person in Manhattan. Jobs are hard to come by, rents are high, and it's easy to get lost without some sense of community.

Grand Central Terminal's Metro-North waiting area now feature restrooms for women only. Like many other busy places where women frequently line up to use bathrooms while men never seem to have that problem (theaters, stadiums), female commuters and tourists alike find themselves waiting at various restrooms in the station.
