First, while C Train platforms in both directions are "basically," (i.e., they do require a step down,) E trains to both WTC and East Side/Queens require descent one more flight. Second, only the Downtown side is ADA compliant. That said, after going some distance from either street entrance to the fare control turnstiles, you must also go and an additional distance to reach the C platform. Unfortunately, MTA has no immediate plans for making the C Uptown / E East Side & Queens Platforms ADA compliant in the near future. Additionally, platform walls only have the blacked out ad space, making it just feel dismal to me. Outside the Downtown entry, behind the Customer Service booth, MTA installed in 1989 untitled artwork by American artist Matt Mullican, who often uses representative imagery within his pieces.

Unsure myself how to interpret all the icons employed in the final left block on the timeline. While there's a bullseye, don't believe it has anything to do with Target, which didn't appear in Manhattan until this century!

It is deep in the theater district but with most of the theaters closed, there was very little traffic this evening when we departed. Each platform has same-level fare control at the center and there are no crossovers or crossunders to allow free transfer between directions. Each fare control area has a token booth, turnstile bank, and newsstand. The station is reasonably clean with minimal litter and decent lighting. There did not appear to be much security so we snapped our photos and departed swiftly. It is definitely showing some age with grubby walls and yellowing light fixtures. It is one of the oldest stations on the New York MTA, having opened in 1904 and it also one of the busiest, as it's located closest to Times Square. It was one of the original 28 stations of the subway between City Hall and 145th Street. Today, the station is on the 1 line (and the 2 line during late nights). It is not handicapped accessible and has only one platform level immediately below the street. There are two side platforms with four tracks. The two center lines are for express trains on the 2 and 3 lines and do not stop here. The northbound local platform has the 1 train with the next stop being 59th Street - Columbus Circle (towards 242nd Street) and the southbound local platform next stop is Times Square - 42nd Street (towards South Ferry). The station contains the artwork Liliana Porter's Alice, The Way Out, a series of mosaics installed in 1994 depicting characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

Although it has had several renovations over the years, it still maintains much of its original historic style, with small updates including the Argentinian artist Lilliana Porter's 1994 mosaics "Alice: The Way Out," an homage to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, due the station being nested in the Broadway theater district where several theatrical adaptations have been performed dating back to 1947. Many iconic characters from the tale will be easily recognized by young and old. Given this station provides subway access to the heavily trodden Theater District and other entertainment, shopping, hotels, and offices, it could benefit from MTA installing an elevator!

It might sometimes be called Midtown - 57th Street in some references and is directly adjacent to Carnegie Hall. The station is completely handicapped accessible, which I found helpful today as I was dragging my rollaboard and not interested in going down a flight or two of stairs. Surprisingly, the elevator did NOT smell of pee! The mezzanine level has the usual fare controls including ticketing kiosks and turnstiles. There is another elevator down to the platform level. For a station that is over 100 years old (it opened in 1919), I found it reasonable clean and well lit. Better than many of the MTA stations on Manhattan.

For those in-station transfers, you're required to do a lot of going up or down then another up or down depending. I always feel the configuration somehow could be structured more efficient for passenger. With all that, the station is normally provides ADA compliant accessibility, but not sure what the temporary situation is given there's elevator work underway until early 2026. In Lexington Avenue fare zone Mezzanine to the E,F,M Platform, MTA installed Brooklyn-born Abstract painter Al Held's 2004 "Passing Through," long bright mosaics based on his watercolor works.

Each piece seems to accompany your movement through the space. Apparently, this station has Nina Yankowitz's 1989 "Tunnel Vision" with hand-painted ceramic tiles, but I think it's covered up while MTA's doing work.

They handled our pickup from LGA to our Midtown hotel and later our return trip back to the airport, and both rides were flawless. This was truly 5-star service and one part of the trip I didn't have to worry about at all. The vehicles were clean and comfortable, communication was clear, and everything ran exactly on time. It was worth every penny compared to mass transit or other ride services. What really set them apart was their customer service. When we were dropped off at the airport, my son accidentally left his phone in the car. Umar went out of his way to drive all the way back around and personally return the phone to us--no hesitation, no attitude, just genuine care and professionalism.

I just want to make sure that I'm clear about the failed "Lowest Price Guarantee". After making two separate efforts to clarify why Precision's price quote was so high and why the Lowest Price Guarantee wasn't being honored, I went with another company. And, I'm really happy that I did. The company that earned my business, was not only comparable, but, in my opinion even superior. Muhammad's response appears to indicate that the companies that gave me price quotes were somehow inferior. Precision has been in business 18 years, and the company I went with has been in business longer. Precision's price quote was much higher than the competition and was for a Cadillac or Volvo sedan, not the beautiful new black SUV that picked up my girlfriend. Lastly, the professional chauffer that was our driver, was impeccably dressed in a black suit and tie. Our driver had over 30 years experience as a licensed, professional chauffer. This gentleman even showed up 25 minutes early! What an incredible experience! Muhammad, I truly appreciate your response and your generous offer. The purpose of this updated review was to clarify that the company that we went with, was not inferior in any way. For some reason, you referenced Uber or a taxi service in your response. I hired a superior, licensed, insured and incredibly professional competitor. Price was certainly not the only deciding factor. I'm hopeful, that this could be a learning opportunity for you and you organization in regards to your " Lowest Price Guarantee". Thank you again.
