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.

I have taken it so many times over the years and today I used it again to head to Brooklyn. The trains come often and it is one of those stations where you never feel like you are waiting forever. I like that it has elevators, escalators, and stairs because it makes getting around simple no matter what you need. The station feels safe every time I am there. There are always people around, from commuters to families to tourists passing through. The area is full of visitors because there are so many NYC attractions nearby, so it never feels empty or isolated. The neighborhood around it is lively with Battery Park, the Statue of Liberty ferries, the Charging Bull, and the whole Financial District right there. It is clean, bright, and easy to navigate, and it has become one of the stations I rely on the most when I am moving around the city.

It is only a few blocks away from the Hilton Double Tree Hotel that I was staying at. It first opened in 1905 as part of the IRT subway line. In the 1970s the station had a major overhaul for doubling the subway station capacity with new routes and in 2020 Bowling Green became a test site for MTA's first hearing induction loop on a subway platform! The station features rotating display of photographic artwork! It showcases rarely seen views of the MTA bridges through illuminated lightboxes in the mezzanine.

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.

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.

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.
