My wife and I used this station as our gateway to get to other parts of Manhattan and ultimately to get back to JFK airport. The NYC subway system originally operated as three separate, competing companies [IRT - Interborough Rapid Transit; BMT - Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit; IND - Independent Subway System] before unifying in 1940. Numbered trains represent former IRT lines, whereas Lettered trains represent former BMT and IND trains. The Flushing Line platform (1 island platform with 2 tracks) opened in 1926 as part of the IRT. It now services the 7 train. The Sixth Avenue Line station (2 island platform with 4 tracks) opened in 1940 as part of the IND. It now services the B, D, F, and M trains. An underground passageway between the two stations was completed in 1971, allowing for free in-system transfers. The complex is the 13th busiest station in the system.

This subway stations is within mere walking distance from Central Park and Columbia University. The 1 train is local via Broadway. There are two entrances - Uptown and Downtown - no underground passageway or overhead passageway to connect as straphangers would have to go to street level and enter with either OMNY or MetroCard. This area is a popular tourist known for sites as Cathedral of St. John the Divine and Tom's Restaurant where the exterior was used for filming the television sitcom "Seinfeld." I have a predilection and really admire the original name tablet green-and-white large mosaic wall tablets with the name "CATHEDRAL PARKWAY" as it is beautiful artwork. I admire these mosaic tiles artwork as it reminisce an old world era of the period when the subway was constructed. The pilasters are adored by blue faience mosaic plaques with the number "110", surrounded by motifs of wreaths as another original ceramic cartouche. Nota Bene: There are two (2) subway stations name MTA - Cathedral Parkway 110th Street. The other is located in Upper West Side and Morningside Heights at Frederick Douglass Boulevard that serves B, C and A trains.

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. There are a variety of routes that runs through the MTA - Bowling Green Subway Station 4 Train - runs all times, stopping at Bowling Green on its way between the Bronx and Brooklyn 5 Train - Runs all times except late nights.

It services mainly the 1, R, W lines. My wife and I used this complex to visit Battery Park, from where we took a ferry to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty up close. The NYC subway system originally operated as three separate, competing companies [IRT - Interborough Rapid Transit; BMT - Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit; IND - Independent Subway System] before unifying in 1940. Numbered trains represent former IRT lines, whereas lettered trains represent former BMT and IND trains. In 1905, IRT opened a balloon loop (track that allows a train to reverse direction without stopping) at South Ferry, then opened another loop in 1918. The BMT opened its station at Whitehall the same year. Much of the South Ferry station was heavily damaged as part of the 9/11 attack. A new station was built (same name of South Ferry), opening in 2009, replacing the original South Ferry station. The new station suffered heavy damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012, closing indefinitely for repair. During this time, the old South Ferry station was reopened to support transportation needs. After major renovation, the new station reopened in 2017 (and the old station closed again), all servicing the 1 Line. It consists of 1 island platform with 2 tracks, and is the station we used to leave Battery Park, heading back to midtown. As for the Whitehall station of the complex, even though it suffered damage from both 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy, it remained open, and continued to be serviced by the R and W lines. It consists of two island platforms with 3 tracks. This is the station we took getting to Battery Park, and we couldn't find a way to get to the South Ferry station exit (since it was closer to the park), instead having to exit street level at Whitehall and walking the rest of the way.

Benefitting from all the repairs and renovations delivered in 2017 after being impacted in 2013 by…read moreHurricane Sandy, this South Ferry/Whitehall St. Subway Station accessing the 1, R and W trains provides an almost perfect connection to the battery or Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Almost, because there are no elevators to the R, W Broadway Line train platform from the mezzanine, creating a challenge for people with strollers, carriages, or wheelchairs. Given how much money MTA spent, it's not clear why they didn't resolve this. That being said, the station provides reminders to how much this part of Manhattan has evolved over time, including the shifts in waterfront structure and activity where the land meets the convergence of the two rivers and New York Bay. At the foot of the South Ferry approach escalator, you'll notice large stones embedded in the wall. These historic pieces, discovered at this level about 500 feet away, composed the west face of Colonial-era Battery Wall. On the other side of the Mezzanine turnstiles and beyond the artist-designed laser-cut stainless steel piece separating the paid section, you'll find the remaining 2008 mosaic and glass artwork series entitled "See it split, see it change" by Doug and Mike Starn, identical twin collaborative artists. The different pieces use images to address transformation, including that which Manhattan has undergone. For example, one section along the stairs to the 1 train platform includes a mosaic with a map superimposed over the island's original topography. It's worth pausing to check out the Battery Wall and public art when passing through this South Ferry/Whitehall St. Subway Station.

The platform for the F/G is outside, which is refreshing when inside platforms are hot and stuffy in the summer but can be a bit chilly in the winter. If you need to get to the Coney Island bound R train you may need to take the F/G platform to get there, which seems to be confusing for some. Overall, a pretty decent subway stop given that the chances that all three trains (F/G/R) are not operating is low. There is a booth where you can talk to an employee in the above-ground station on the east side of 4th avenue and another one at the below-ground Manhattan-bound R entry point also on the east side of 4th avenue.
