Harlem A. • December 28, 2014The platform that should actually be in Manhattan, has a (1) station stop nearby. Getting protection from the elements may be wishful thinking. If only MTA would build a connector. gets quite crowded!

Untapped Cities • March 13, 201596th St was in service since 1904 and was part of the first subway. But with a 200 foot platform, the station was retired in 1959 for similar reasons as the abandoned Worth Street & 18th St stations.

City of New York • April 15, 2013If you’re on the downtown 1 platform at 116th Street-Columbia University station, check out the oversized grand chair made out of steel.

Mikolaj F. • March 11, 2010This is an exciting above-ground platform that has some nice views of the neighborhood, but it also gets annoyingly loud when these big metal trains pass by. Not really worth the $2.25 entrance fee.
