I watched New York local coverage (interspersed with national coverage) at my friend's apartment in Manhattan. Then, as now, I lived in New Jersey. My two priorities when I got to my friend's place were to let my girlfriend know I was alright and figure out a way back to NJ. I accomplished the former thanks to AOL instant messaging. (I didn't have a cell phone yet, and it wouldn't have worked if I had.) As four of us watched coverage, I was waiting for both the subway and the George Washington Bridge to be re-opened. News of such came at around 2-3 pm, and I took the A train (for free) to the bridge, which had re-closed in the interim. It re-opened at about 8 pm, and I walked across with hundreds of others, went to a pay phone in Fort Lee and called my girlfriend who picked me up, whereupon we both burst into tears.
