Mika; I am a New Englander by birth, I'm originally from Maine and
graduated from a small college in Vermont. The New York City
connection is that my husband Enrique has lived in New York for 12
years after he and his family moved from Panama. I used to go there
visiting him when I was in college and now have a lot of friends in
the city. I can, however, answer your question. There are
Brailled subway maps from the New York Light House for the Blind.
However, be forewarned, last time I looked at them, the train
schedule was under revision, and the Brailled maps were severely
lacking. The information people at the city transit authority are
very helpful, you can give them the address you're going, and
they'll tell you exactly how to get there. My husband also tells me
he'd be happy to help you get to where you're going if you give us a
call as the subway system is pretty to figure out, I'm from a small
town in Maine, and I got around fine, so I'm sure it's kind of like
what you deal with Boston, but I'm not sure as I've never been on
that train system before. You can call me at (716) 271-4825 for
more info or just to chat. I hope this is helpful, Beth.
