The platforms are pretty decent sized so you don't feel like you have to get too close to the tracks when its crowded. There are a few seats spread out as well as timers for the trains which almost every station seems to have now. They added the new screens on the platforms which give you more info than the timers. The new screens have maps of the stops as well as when the next train is coming and the timers just tell when you the next train is coming. The timers are pretty accurate overall but they can change pretty quickly too. Pretty sure it's a 24 hour booth but there is a token booth here which I think is always good. A human presence is a good thing I think. Of course there are plenty of machines to buy or reload your metro cards.

There are repairs underway at the train station so pay attention to the re-direction of where to go. The escalators and elevators will help one up and down street and subway levels. However, this station is busy esp during rush hour and since a local stop it does get super packed. Even more if there are delays, so play wisely. Reload your OMNY card at the station before heading to the turnstyle or pay with your credit card - tap and go. The message boards display when the next trains are arriving which is helping to know how far along the trains are especially if one misses the train and has to wait. Depending on which entrance one goes down, it can be a trek to get down to the subway if one is going uptown or downtown...trial and error until one knows their way around.

None of those empty, squashed-up plastic bottles you might see lying face down onto the tracks unlike the Main Street one. This small station can get busy and crowded with people in the daytime and evening during rush hours. After the busiest hours though, the place is mostly deserted with the wind whistling in your ears from the background. Some wooden benches are placed on the platforms from both sides. Still have the older-looking turnstiles, hopefully they'll get replaced with the newer ones soon. Easily accessible by the 7 train. There're many mom-and-pop shops + diners + pizzerias + restaurants + bakeries all around the Corona neighborhood and nearby as well. Plenty of places to explore!

The outside plaza used to be decent in the sense that is was clean & clear now it looks like a food fair everyday & it is jammed packed pretty much everyday it's become aggravating to walk through there's just way too much going on outside. As for the service well as long as there are no interruptions the station itself is not terrible, easy to get to & from.

This 23rd St. Subway Station at Madison Square Park, where Broadway and 5th Avenue intersect is…read moreserviced by BMT Broadway Line trains (i.e., those marked yellow between Brooklyn and Queens or Uptown) when they're running local in Midtown Manhattan. [That service, subject to change for multiple reasons, presently includes: R at all times except night, W on weekdays, N weekends and nights, as well as Q at night.] Really fun mosaics of various hats historic hats worthwhile to check out line both platforms! Pleasantly surprised to learn more about them. While I originally thought they're tied to milliners situated in the late 1800s "Ladies' Mile" District, a closer look revealed that each whimsical head cover connects to a figure whose time in New York crossed 23rd Street when it was a big cultural district between 1880 and 1920! (FYI - That's when Madison Square Garden was actually located at E. 26th St. and Madison Avenue off its namesake Madison Square Park.) Small signage under each hat indicate whose head the hat may have appeared on or flown off! London-born later New Yorker artist Keith Godard, created this "Memories of 23rd Street" 2003 piece. Apparently at one point, he lived at the nearby Chelsea Hotel which seeded his interest in the characters that frequented this neighborhood. To add, rumors circulated that the height of the above 1902 "skyscraper" Flatiron (a.k.a. Fuller) Building caused the area to be more windy, impacting people's clothing. You'll notice headwear of still well-known figures such as: Mark Twain, Harry Houdini, Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, O'Henry, Eleanor Roosevelt, Florenz Ziegfeld, Lillie Langtry, plus John and Ethel Barrymore. The top hat of P.T. Barnum was juxtaposed to reflect the height disparity with a cap of his performer General "Tom Thumb!" Figures lesser known today are also accounted for. Of course, since it's subway art, it includes William Barclay Parson, Chief Engineer of the Rapid Transit Commission! Godard indicated that today's subway passengers might enjoy envisioning people waiting for trains on the opposite platform donning hats they are beneath. Given this station provides the closest subway access to Madison Square Park, the iconic Flatiron building, local shopping and other businesses, not to mention a major crosstown street, 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 23rd Street Subway Station accessible to everyone!

There are a ton of lights here, especially at night, which makes it feel relatively safe. Plus, people are always in this neighborhood as it is filled with lots of places to hang out. It has two exits - one to all the buses, and the other side closer to the Belt Parkway. It is great because you can exit that way and be close to the bay. It's also great to get off and walk a few blocks if you're heading to Manhattan Beach. The Q/B are great- especially the Q, rated #1 train in NYC again for this year. The B is great if you're in a rush, as the B will usually wait for the Q to catch up so all the people on the local track can run over and catch the express. The station itself is kinda of dirty and mucky, but totally understandable as it is still a public space that a ton of people pass by everyday and the MTA has better things to do with their money. When I come out of the exit by 15th street, I wouldn't necessarily say I feel safe as there are a lot of homeless people who beg for change, but there are also a lot of religious groups handing out fliers and a lot of the green taxi cabs waiting for people to request for them. This station is still great in my opinion as it is offers a lot to the Sheepshead Bay community like transportation that is quick, with a view.

The station was clean and I loved the nostalgic wall if you will highlighting,, of course, Prospect Park. The Carousel is one special highlight of the Park as well as the glorious Boathouse utilized for weddings. The station sits between Ocean Avenue and Flatbush Avenue. The sign for the Bklyn Botanical Garden reminds you that the Garden is roughly a ten minute walk from this station. I believe it leads you the back entrance of Garden at Eastern Parkway. I also loved the old colored tiling that dotted the interior and exterior of Station. Another great aha moment is if I wanted to take a bus back to Bay Ridge, the B16 is located outside the station; it's good to have alternative mode of transportation. In addition, there are a plethora of restaurants outside the station. Best thing: 2 minute walk to Prospect Park!
