Scott G. • January 28, 2011Buy a beer from the carts on the platform; best prices in town and make the ride more fun,
Hector • December 19, 2015Slender and spectacular as I always remember it. The viewing platforms at the top offer some of the best views of the entire Manhattan and beyond
Christine N. • August 30, 2010Lobby is great for sipping coffee or a cocktail. They also have a photo booth! I love platforms for vanity!
InStyle • October 29, 2010Romantic lace pumps are a gorgeous evening choice this season. If they feel too delicate for you, look for one with a platform.
Jenna S. • July 5, 2017Take the 6 train past the end of the line at Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall. It swoops down past a cool abandoned train station and comes back up on the other side of the platform. Do it in the daytime.
Cameron A. • April 25, 2010Infrastructure, monument, muse, obstacle-strewn bike path, treacherous footpath, platform for photographing Brooklyn and Manhattan, wedding venue. At least this is what the bridge has been for me.
Mike M. • April 30, 2010Take some photos from the top of the new bleacher seating platform - it offers a great perspective downtown
Maurice W. • April 11, 2011Excellent Cell Phone Coverage On The Brooklyn,Bronx Bound 4 & 5 Train Platforms
Marc B. • September 16, 2010play with the sound thingy in the middle of both platforms of the N/Q/R. can't miss it - green boxes!
Andrea F. • October 11, 2016I recommend go with extra time, the distances between platforms are great and it's a crowed place.
Stef S. • March 10, 2014Recommend for private party! Held one last Saturday with approx 25p in platform area - food was delish, no one was ever without a drink, and DJ is the best. Also very reasonable pp pricing. 👍👍
Kerwin P. • August 21, 2018Always watch out for vomit on the platforms.....and it gets a little hot out there. Listen to the Mta workers whn there are service changes too.
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.
Auntie T. • July 19, 2018There are no signs posted for the next train. You need to know the schedule or just wait. There is a small scroll at the bottom of the TV screen but not until you are on the platform.
Randall • May 19, 2011You can get mobile service at the back of the C train platform going uptown and at the front going uptown.
John-Carlos L. • January 18, 2016Mac and cheese was on point I highly recommend drunkenly eating it on the L platform nearby for the best experience
The Official Khalis • August 25, 2011The Chambers Street J/Z platform under the municipal building is historic in that it once stood as the BMTs south terminal. LIRR excursion trains also departed from this station via the Broadway BMT.
Adjua G. • April 6, 2012On the Brooklyn-bound J/M platform you can get reception if you're on AT&T. Stand at the back railing of third staircase. It's the one across from the newsstand on the other side. w00t!
Ann M. • April 28, 2010If you want a seat on a path train, walk to the very end of the platform and you'll have a better chance.
Chelsea • September 12, 20125pm is the WORST time to take the train from here, especially if taking N/Q/R. Sometimes the entire platform is full and one can barely walk. I always try to commute after 6.
@joeljet • June 26, 2012Staging tip - Stand at the end of the L platform (to get on the last subway car) for the 1st Ave stop. You'll shoot right up the exit when you get there.
Jonathan L. • November 17, 2014North exit leaves you on 23rd St & South exit leaves you on 22nd St. Station agent only available on the north side of uptown platform.
Roger G. • September 25, 2010Can get a signal toward back of downtown platform
Kevin R. • May 14, 2012On hot, muggy mornings, the platforms smell more like Rockefeller's Septic Tank.
Matt H. • August 16, 2011This station is confusing. Make sure you enter from the best possible spot above ground or you will do a ton of walking getting to the right platform.
