Getting off the number 5 train,  you would need to walk up Cadman Plz W. While walking up Cadman Plz you are going to see many trees and also have a chance to a monument dedicated to the Korean War veterans. Compared to the strait forward walk, this new detour will take about 7 minutes compared to the 5 min walk from the F train. I usually take the F train in the morning but for the detour I would have to take a different train in the morning. The amount if time in the trains would be the same, without counting the train delays. 

During the walk, you are able to see the tress having different color leaves, cars passing by, and kids headed to school. In my morning walk to school I like to listen to music and enjoy  a nice hot cup of coffee. I like listening to my music pretty loud because many cars pass by and they make a lot of noise. Listening to loud music zones me out of the city and I am able to enjoy the little nature that near our school.
