The Roosevelt Island Daily thanks Sylvan Klein for the “heads up.”

Reduce Fare OMNY According to the MTA

You can now put your Reduced-Fare benefit on your contactless credit or debit card or smart device at any time, from anywhere, using our online Digital Assistant. It is as easy as 1-2-3: go to omny.info to create an OMNY account, open the Assistant and enter your Reduced-Fare program info, and enter your payment info. 

You will need your Reduced-Fare MetroCard number handy along with the bank card number that will carry your Reduced-Fare benefit. Once you link your contactless debit/credit card or digital wallet, you will receive a success message and can begin tapping your selected payment method right away. 

You can watch a video demonstration of how to switch here, or call the OMMY call center at 877-789-6669 (8:00 AM-5:00 PM EST any day of the week) for help.

Easy peasy.

Save right now, if you qualify for reduced fare OMNY.

What the Promenade Remembers

What the Promenade Remembers

A morning walk, a small act, and the quiet difference between what we notice and what we leave behind.

The light on the East River in the early morning is different from the light anywhere else on the Island. It comes in low and sideways, catching the water in long, uneven flashes. On certain days it makes the promenade feel less like a walkway and more like a corridor someone once meant to finish but never quite did. When I was younger I found the suggestion to stop and look at it faintly ridiculous.
