Where can someone sleep in NYC if they don’t have any money.

Hello All!

I am in a bit of a situation where I don’t have a place to sleep. I am not unhoused, just a bit of a situation at home where I don’t feel I can stay there at the moment.

Some things I have tried:

The subway-The A train to Far Rockaway. First time I got picked up by the homeless collation and brought to a drop in shelter. I told them I just wanted to sleep and I was brought to a place that had chairs. It was not against the wall or at table. Seemed to me much better off on the subway.

Also tried the 1 train as well. Didn’t get that much sleep.

Staten Island Ferry- Free to ride all night and felt safer then most places. They don’t mind if you sleep on the benches. Problem is, you have to exit the ferry and go to the terminal and get on the ferry again. So a lot of interrupted sleep! Butt good access to bathrooms!!! A real plus

I heard about cooling or heating buses. There was one was supposed to be near my job in the bronx near my job at a hospital. Bus never showed up! Was welcome to wait in the ER waiting room for the bus. I was given a sandwich though. Was told I need to leave as bus didn’t show up and ER waiting room was for patients.

I tried Laguardia airport, but they close pretty early and you seem to be watched.

Last night I have an idea. I used my last $20 and went to the movies with those reclining seats. Planned to sit in the next movie so could have over 4 hours of nap time, but I got into the movie and the second movie was a different movie and loud!!

I am soooo tired!!! And hungry!
