    The 86th St entrance is at the back of the uptown train and the front of the downtown train.

    This station (and most of the other UWS b/c stops) now has free wifi! Connect to Boingo and pick "complimentary access".

    Watch out for the gross puddle of water at the foot of the stairs leading to the downtown tracks. Even with saved cash the MTA can't clean it up. Go figure!

    $100 or so for unlimited subway and bus travel is actually a mighty fine deal. Just saying, you know....

    When going uptown, stay at the front of the train to exit at 89th st.
