Hmm, whenever I'm feeling sort of blue, and have a bit of time, I go out and just ride the train around randomly... it makes me feel ... free... Indeed, I've often thought about taking a laptop and working there too (at midday, crowding's not so much of an issue)! A subway's not quite as nice as a surface train in that respect (not much view!), but it has some of the same "going somewhere but never quite arriving" vibe that can be very appealing. [If your subway is smelly and noisy, of course, that's a side-effect of your populace, not an inherent property of subways.]
