This train station is newly built and very pretty - it's a great destination to take pictures and just admire eloquent architecture. Trains are efficient and are on time with their due schedules, the tracks and platforms are clean (and hopefully they stay this way), and the main train station, itself, is beautiful. read more

Thank you to Miguel and staff for the patient efficient service in accommodating our large senior Class group over Memorial Day weekend. Miguel was unflappable, thorough, and took great care to make certain our visit was perfect. Excellent food, amazing service! Thank you Keith, for leaving Miguel to our care! read more

Who was right about this station not being done by June 2014? This guy! Anyway, the first of two main hubs in Lower Manhattan to open after the collapse of the WTC is now open. Combine this with the look of the Hoboken track of the new WTC PATH and it's obvious that downtown mass transportation has a bright future. It's simply a visually appealing hub and entrance on Fulton and Broadway. I don't totally get the huge dome on top, but it's cool enough I guess. Once they open the underground path to the WTC (assume that will happen when that station opens), that will be really nice on cold/rainy days. read more

One of my favorite subway hubs in the city. Especially because of Shake Shack.

Beautiful contained open space. A 21st century grand central. Men In Black feel. Nice to see NYC can still make great structures. The shops haven't opened yet but still worth a look! read more

Fulton Center - Atrium - Shopping Centers Near Me - New York, New York

I would like to point out that there are 8 lines here in the middle of the Financial district. I mean yeah, it will be better once the reconstruction is finished but seriously guys? Where else can you find this many lines conveniently outside of I don't know 34th or 42nd? Yes it smells but you'd rather have this subway, right? read more

Nice shopping and transit centre serving as a hub for all major train lines. Connects with the oculus which is a major attraction Has a shake shack, which is always great :) read more

Fulton Street, how I do loathe thee. When I first was moving back to NYC in '05, I had the distinct experience of coming to this dirty wet maze during the late spring/ early summer. It must have just rained- because there was water everywhere - and still it was filthy, close, swampy, and super hot. Even then, the smell got to me and the heavy, wet heat made it hard for me to breathe. Now, everytime I come through Fulton Street, I wince and feel a headache coming on - there is no order, no air flow and the smell reminds me of a herd of dirty cattle. Much like the Big Dig in Boston, one fears that the endless construction is now construction for construction's sake. read more

The Fulton Center gets better and better each month as new businesses open up. Beautiful Goant TV screens decorate the entire area giving you a very technological experience. The flagship business is Shake Shake and that was a good move because the center is constantly visited due to the draw of the famous Shake Shack burger and Shake. Make sure you visit and take pictures read more

WATCH OUT ! 20 Minutes minimum at the Shake Shack 10 minutes waiting online 10 minutes waiting for your food. I go three times a week....always a long wait. Last time my buzzer did not work.. read more

I hope it gets better when the reconstruction is done but currently, this place is cramped and hot. The area between the stairs and the turnstyles tend to be small so it always seem to be crowded. Once you're on the platform, there is high temperature and humidity. Good thing I tend to have a bottle of water when I visit to replenish the lost fluids. read more

Fulton Center - Shopping Centers Near Me - New York, New York

This is a very modern station located in the Financial District.- at least part of it is modern. It is a hub for many of the different subway lines. Pay close attention to the signs, as it is easy to lose your way to the correct line. read more

This place is OKAY. It's really pretty for the most part. But god help me if I spend another 15 minutes wandering around trying to find the Brooklyn bound JZ train. The signage isn't helpful in the slightest. Not to mention, I actually encountered someone else with the exact same problem, and together we had to walk in circles and ask a bunch of people where the Brooklyn bound JZ train was. read more

Signs aren't super helpful here. Easy to get lost and go in circles. It's a maze just to exit. Good location and great that it lots of trains. It maybe has too many entrances though. It can be very confusing and you might end up taking an elevator to another train. read more

Be prepared to spend over 30 minutes waiting for a J train on a Sunday if you're transferring out of here after coming up on the PATH. If you're passing or traveling through, The Oculus is cool and fun to take pictures inside of, but otherwise the city should've spent the money making the trains efficient, and not a super fancy dunkn donuts, and random food "retail" like creative pretzel or bagel bites (there's no real "cuisine" here) in Fulton "Center". read more

Thank god. They recently just re-opened the jamaica JZ entrance. Before, you had to go down to the ACE platform, loop around and walk back up another set of stairs. read more

Bright lights, big station. This shiny terminal finally opened to predictably huge crowds funneling through, and is advertised to the hilt (which I'd fully endorse if it meant no or minimal fare hikes by the MTA/PA), and even boasts some higher-end merchants throughout. read more

I get off at this train station every morning but that's about all the interaction I'd like to have with it. The station looks disgusting with all the construction, and if you are taking anything but the 4/5 you have to walk a long maze of tunnels and stairs which makes the experience even less pleasant. Especially if you are taking the A/C trains; this platform is a nightmare and really does stink. And not that has much to do with the station itself but evening rush hour on the 4/5 trains is slower than taking a local train. Thank goodness I can take the E train in the evening just a block away. read more

This is a very beautiful station. In addition, it is fully accessible to disabled passengers and will feature many retail options. Just one major caveat: it is laid out in a confusing, labyrinthine manner. For example, I tried to walk from the J train to the PATH via the Fulton Transit Center. I was basically going around in circles. Finally, I just gave up and went outside. From there, I walked to the PATH station (which is a boondoggle). And although this is a nice station, I feel that the MTA could've used the money for more practical purposes (such as improving service). read more

beautifully designed. many food options including dunkin donuts, sushi and shake shack. best of all, there's multiple bathrooms. now i can finally pee during my commute to work. read more

the new set up is in motion. so far new elevators and escalators are ready to use. it's a busy station but there are many exit and entrace. read more

The newly Fulton Street New Subway Station finally open... Very Nice I love the nice decorations at the station more easy connections to other trains line... Can't wait for the 34st station on the 7 line to open... read more

They have a bathroom! A subway transit station with a bathroom that is not out of service, locked with a chain or nonexistent. Air conditioned which helps while waiting for the train. Security personnel present 24/7 which helps with drunk persons and lost travelers. The only issue is the ongoing construction outside that affects the outside decor but not the station's fault. read more

Yes yes , this may look like a great and beautiful and clean subway but for the most part it's frustrating to find your trains and bounds . So coming from a Brooklyn 4 Train the train area is trashy and hot but once your eyes fade to the main lobby (yes this subway has a main lobby ) it's like looking into an upscale mall without stores . But finding your trains and bounds from the main lobby is more badder than you think .You may think that is a subway all figured out ,but it's really misleading .It can take you it train areas that are closed and it took 15 mins of wondering to find a brooklyn bound 4 or 5 train . However trains come quick and Fulton street is a very great area ! read more

A-OK architecture. Spiral staircase and light industrial feel was top-notch!

They spent millions of dollars on this station and only two machines are working ! With cash only MTA is a joke twenty minutes just to get a metrocars!! read more

The Great American Bagel Bakery Ripoff! What's happened to the traditional New York bagel? This johnny-come-lately charges $1.99 for a Midwestern interpretation of a bagel. I ask for a buttered bagel and it comes back a whopping $3.46! Here's the scenario: the MTA just ripped you off $2.75 for subway ride delayed by the daily signal malfunctions, you arrive at the Fulton Center reeking of communal subway sweat and then get mugged three dollars and change for a buttered bagel at The Great American Bagel Bakery. read more

This is the only subway station where I feel comfortable asking an MTA employee for directions or help without encountering rudeness. They were very helpful when I had to push a baby stroller through the gate and assisted me with directions to the line I wanted to take. The signage is a bit confusing when trying to find which line you want, but is not all that bad. It's also very bright and clean. read more

$1.4 billion and 10 years of construction for this?!?!?!?!? Beautiful it may be. An architectural marvel perhaps. However, was it worth $1.4 billion and putting up with 10 years of construction in an already congested subway transfer station? Absolutely not! The most important aspect is functionality. Aside from being able to walk underground to the Cortlandt R station (though still not without exiting the fare zone), the new Fulton does not make new ANY connections that did not already exist in the old Fulton. What's more, the only real improvements are the long mezzanine atop the A line and the oculus-containing headhouse. As far as the later is concerned, it is really just a big white elephant of a space that serves no purpose other than to provide a grand entrance to what is essentially the same dingy subway platforms that were there before. So, in terms of functionality, the MTA just spent $1.4 billion and wasted 10 years to build a bigger entrance. The next aspect is whether this structure actually improves the area. It does not. In place of street-level stores on Fulton and Broadway, we now just get two big blank window walls. Despite the MTA and Westfield (the Australian mall developer that is partnering with the MTA on leasing out the "mall" at Fulton) promising 180,000 square feet of retail, almost 3/4 a year after it opened not a SINGLE store has opened at Fulton - not even a retail booth (and they promised those too). Westfield claims Shake Shack and Zaro's are going to move in. But Shake Shack isn't opening until 2016 and I'm not even sure about that since the Shake Shack "coming soon" sign has been taken down. Other than those two, what other retail is moving in? In fact, who WOULD be interested in moving in considering that the majority of the retail space is on the second floor and up and thus not at street or transit level? Apparently not even Hudson News or Starbucks is interested in this dog of a space. This in spite of the fact that the area around it is booming. There's a lot of talk about how malls are dying in America. Well, the Fulton Center hasn't even lived yet and it's already dead. It's not just a "dead mall". It is a "still-born mall" - one that cost $1.4 billion and took 10 years to build. Also, shame on the MTA for missing an opportunity. That location was begging for an office tower to be built on top and the MTA could have made a killing off of development rights seeing as any such building would have instant access to many subway lines. But noooooo. They decided to build the oculus and thus now there's not even hope of building anything on top. To anyone who thinks that terrorism concerns nixed any ideas of putting a building on top, I submit that the Port Authority has several times hawked out the Port Authority Bus Terminal as being a potential site for a building to be placed on top - and this was after 2001. In short, the abject folly called the "Fulton Center" is another reason why the MTA cannot be trusted with any big ticket projects in the future. Whether it be the Second Avenue Subway, the Fulton Center, or even a one station extension of the 7 line, the MTA has proven time and time again that it cannot get their projects done right, on time, or within budget. it's no wonder that Albany is so reluctant to give any more money to the MTA. All they have to do is point to the Fulton Center and say that all that money will just be spent on a never-ending over-budget construction project that results in no functional gain and produces only an empty mall. read more

After all the construction dust settled, we were awarded for our patience with a shiny new subway station. It is shiny and it is new but it is also a maze and you know how much "extra" time New Yorkers have to play games looking for their train! My hat is off to the city "planner" that put this one together. You sir have managed to waste a lot of time for a lot of people. read more
