    You can see it if you take the 6 train and stay on at the last downtown stop.

    The train loops through the station and then goes uptown.

      Did that when I visited New York. The conductor asked why I was staying on the train at the last stop. When I told him, he invited me to make the loop from the cab. Such a great experience.

        My Dad used to bitch about NYC and New Yorkers, but he never set foot in NYC and had no idea what he was talking about. I’m a New Yorker-in-law (my wife grew up on the Upper West Side), and every we time I visit, I am always amazed by how awesome New Yorkers are.

        I used to tell him: “Yeah, you’d have a rough time on NYC because you’d visit with a chip on your shoulder, and you’d get exactly the kind of reception you’d deserve. Visit with a love for the city, and you’ll find friends on every block.”

      My favorite thing to do some cold nights back in the day. They don’t usually leave the station lights on… but once in a while ya get lucky.

        There’s a hidden station near Delancey and Essex. They use it for training and rent it out for movies and TV shows.

        And if you’ve never seen it, watch the original version of ‘The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3’ my all time favorite New York movie.
