    This station seems to be the only one where I find myself giving money to musicians! For some reason all the cool and unique musicians play at this station! Check them out around rush hour!!!

    Allow extra travel time because the uptown express A train runs about as fast if not slower than the local C train during a.m. rush hour.

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

    There’s been talk of increase in subway timelines by the head of MTA. Unfortunately, the A train hasn’t changed, and isn’t reliable yet!

    Pay attention to the signage regarding what stops the 1 train is skipping on weekends, as the MTA personnel are about as helpful as a wet napkin. SMH.

    This expansive subway stop features an effervescent, multicolored wall piece by Minimalist artist Sol LeWitt — and cell phone service near its upper level to let you "check in."

    Make sure you already have a metro card when you coming into this subway station, because if you don't you'll be waiting on line forever to get one....
