I lived in Astoria for a year. Whenever I left Manhattan heading home to Astoria, I always kept in mind the N/Q has an expiration time—midnight.

Since I’m really unfamiliar with buses, the N/Q was my only option -- but an unreliable one at that.

Late at night the Q would stop running past the last stop in Manhattan, 57th and 7th, while the N would run in its place. They say it comes every 20 minutes, but that 20 minutes feels like a lifetime—especially at 3 AM on a Friday night.
