    Making NYC Your Gym is as easy as getting off the subway a stop early. Get off at Lexington Ave/59th St. & walk the rest of the way to work/home. More on Making NYC Your Gym: http://on.nyc.gov/T6Gc9J

    If you're waiting for the N/Q/R by the 3rd ave entrance, beware of wearing short skirts or dresses... It gets super windy when a train is approaching on the Bklyn-bound side.

    Easy access to 5th Avenue, and the Trump Towers!

    5pm 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.

    This particular station is buried questionably far under the streets of this metropolis compared to it's counterparts.

    Bloomingdales.. For trump tower you need and Lexington E/M train. The other tip is wrong.

    Want to go shopping but don’t want to go outside – get off here and enter Bloomingdale’s right from the platform!

    Transferring to the Broadway line from the Lexington line? The transfers are on the north side of both platforms.

    The 4-5 platform is by far the worst smelling platform in the city.
