The last time I was in NY, I emerged from a hotel in midtown, and asked the next cab waiting in line outside the hotel to take me to SoHo. He just shook his head and sat there. I asked the hotel cab-wrangler if the cab was working, and he just shook his head as well. I walked a block and got a cab on Broadway instead. Only thing I can figure is that he was holding out for an airport fare. Give that it was raining pretty hard, this was kind of annoying.
