    Station
    Steve A.

    Bleecker Street has an MTA station. For a subway station it's not bad. It has what one would expect. A platform that's pretty average. This is a pretty good area outside of it too. Good place to get on near the Bowery and Little Italy. It serves the 6 Train. This is also a good place for making a transfer. It's attached to the Broadway-Lafayette station. Passengers don't even have to leave the station and can get a free transfer. Several others come through the other station. The Broadway-Lafayette station serves the B, D, F, and M Trains. Convenient to get somewhere else. There's some cool art to look at inside. On the ceiling are some interesting lights in different colors. They make the place a little interesting, as interesting as a station can get. It has some nice decor inside and you should take a look around. It has some pretty mosaics. The station is cleaner than many others.

    Considering the age of this station it was clean during my recent visit. The historic tile has been shined and new signage added to the entrance. The day I was at the station a man using a walker was hollering let me in! Eventually he gained access. Some of these old stations are not disability accessible. Bleecker Street is a super cool place to wander from one end to the other. When I take the subway and get off here I walk toward the West and enjoy a completely bohemian type atmosphere. That's the only way I can explain it. Hints of long ago eras in NYC linger around every corner. I recommend you get off the subway and explore. A new adventure awaits on Bleecker Street.

    The future is looking Bleecker

    Is your future looking brighter? Or Bleecker? If it's the latter, maybe this subway stop will cheer you up. Reading the thoughts of other people on riding the MTA can be scary. I don't think Republicans should even be allowed to ride this train (lol) if they're going to use it as an excuse to start rallying against all people who aren't like them (i.e. a little poorer) and insulting entire groups of people. Humanity is taking a disgusting and extreme turn towards racism and selfishness and capitalism lately, and at least riding the MTA still reminds me that sometimes we can all exist in the same space. Sometimes. Barely. Less so lately. Other times I think there's no hope for us but then I see the shining hexagonal glowing lights that change colour on the ceiling of MTA's Bleecker Street Subway Station, soothing my pain and numbing my brain, and I remember that there is still hope. Because after all. The world is going to sh**, fascism is on the rise, and hipsters are too dumb and self-obsessed to know what the f*** to do to stop it. But, the lights are pretty. So everything will be okay.

Imagine how many people have ridden on the L Line as one of the first segments of the underground Canarsie Line over the past 100 years. Amazing! No Less Than Everything Comes Together. Going back and forth from Williamsburg to Prospect Heights meant a lot of trips from this station through Manhattan. I don't think I'll ever understand why there still isn't a way to get from Brooklyn to Brooklyn without going through Manhattan. Yet, it allowed me to discover a series of beautiful mosaics by Marcel Dzama. The Sun. The Moon. The Sky. All connected in No Less Than Everything Comes Together by Marcel Dzama. The mosaics are so interesting and detailed. Dzama cites that he was influenced by the great Dada movement artist, Marcel Duchamp, but the mosaics remind me more of the Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi. Either way, the mosaics are so fun and playful. Take a few minutes on your vacation or your daily commute to enjoy the whimsical dancers, the sun, the moon and a few historical characters that all play a part in the mosaics in the underground Bedford Avenue Subway.

That being said, despite all it's in-station transfer options for the J,N,R,Q,W,Z and 6 trains, can't think of when I've actually used this station to change trains. Also not sure how convenient it is for many since it's a giant labyrinth, plus it has extremely limited ADA-compliance. Accessibility improvements for the full station are on the way in the present prioritized Capital Plan. That being said, Canal Street Station's 1998 "Empress Voyage" tile mosaics around the station by China-born artist Bing Lee tie into the American merchant ship, Empress of China, which on a pioneer voyage returned in 1794 to the city with treasured trade cargo: silk, tea, porcelain. There's a full-wall mosaic displaying playful icons, but on platforms you'll find different Chinese symbols in stylized interlocked teapots. As elsewhere in Chinatown, there's bilingual signage - passengers can read the station's name as "Canal Street" or the Chinese character for Chinatown.

But keep your eyes open for other kinds of birds, too. Potential jailbirds. Because on 1/1/25, a 31-year-old man was stabbed in the arm and back while riding a southbound 6 train approaching Canal Street, and in 5/24, a 69-year-old man was attacked on the southbound R platform at Canal Street. The assailant placed the victim in a chokehold, punched him repeatedly, and robbed him before fleeing on foot. ​ In 3/24, a male individual reportedly threatened a female at the Canal Street subway station.

The artists utilized photographs of actual anonymous individuals in motion around the city to create the figures. Each figures unique fine details tell a different story, easy to overlook if you rush through the station. Begun just before 9/11 and finished a couple years afterwards, the title also gives a nod to New Yorkers continuing afterwards plus their outgoing personalities and lively nature. Given this always busy Prince Street station provides close subway access to the SoHo shopping district, it could benefit from MTA installing elevators! People who cannot easily navigate the stairs, such as with strollers, carriages, or wheelchairs cannot easily use this subway station! MTA, make this Prince Street Subway Station accessible to everyone!

There's old tiles from days gone by and new decor too. I'm definitely going back soon. I need to see if some of my favorite delis and restaurants are still open. Check it out.....

What's now the Lexington Avenue Line station here was one of the original 28 IRT stations that opened up in 1904 as the city's first subway line! It's where the narrow tracks curve as they shift between 4th Avenue and Park Avenue South. In fact, you'll find or Downtown-bound Local 6 trains a retractable moving platform system that closes a gap that appears when trains arrive. So, heed the warnings! For your safety, pay attention to the postings and stand clear of the moving platform! Although the Broadway Line here opening in 1917 and Canarsie Line in 1924, all the lines were combined into one complex in 1948. As subway service expanded, Union Square, surrounded by stores and assorted buildings, became a big transportation hub. It's placed in the National Register of Historic Places. The public art highlights those original architectural elements by Heins & LaFarge, contracted in 1901 to design the original station. American artist and designer Mary Miss cleverly created "Framing Union Square," bright red metal frames that bring attention to what remains, pointing your attention to those historic features, as if taking you on a archeological journey to marvel at what remains from the past. What's funny to me is what appears to be a couple combination "Love Locks" added to rebar emerging from those beautiful columns on the Mezzanine announcing 14th Street. All in all, Miss's work highlights those lasting things we should appreciate.
