It can get very hot below ground at this station, stay upstairs until the train comes.
Go to the North end of train -- lots of people exit at 42nd.
Mrs LJanuary 6, 2011The 2nd to last staircase off the South end, uptown side, is the least crowded in the whole station.Upvoted Feb 6

The south side now has signs that will let you know exactly when the next train will arrive and which type it is. Very helpful!
The south entrance on the w.72'nd side of this station was in die hard 3. The pay phone that Bruce Willis & Samuel L Jackson was removed.
- NabeelApril 7, 2012Entrance / exit is in the middle of the street, so you'll have to cross a street any way you go
- Cell phone coverage near the venting grid by the 71st/72nd street entrance.
- Stand at the front of the uptown train to get to 73rd Street, e.g., from Times Square. However, it will be very crowded there.
You wanna get here a bit earlier than expected. Often delayed trains.- Please have your Metro card ready when you get to the turnstile.
- The elevator works - though the "aroma" can be a challenge - useful if you have luggage.
Keith EdwardsApril 16, 2010TIP: STAND CLEAR OF MY CLOSING FISTS, please. Also, wear baby powder on your feet to prevent your shoes from stinking.- Good place to sit & enjoy some outdoor time. New sculpture. Outdoor concerts on warm weather weekends
Go on the 2nd set of stairs on the north end and you'll get out twice as fast.
Stay at the end of the train if you plan on catching the L train on 14th Street.

Sarah FleischmanSeptember 1, 2010Would be a lot nicer sitting here if the whole place didn't smell like an ashtray. I mean who really smokes anymore?
People at this station are rude. You have to fight your way out and in.
