Tiki bar to Westchester

WestinFINAL.jpg


The bar car of the Metro-North Railroad's New Haven line has received a makeover as a tiki bar. The advertising campaign, similar to the subway "wraps" on the Times Sq shuttle, is a promotion for Westin Hotels. It wasn't immediately clear if the message -- relaxation at the hotel chain -- worked or whether it further irritated riders who recently started paying more for their drinks.
