I have used this station since 1991 and when I would get off the train that old stain was claustrophobic with legal graffiti on the walls by schools and artists. 1996 finally funded and now a wonderful open air station. The underpass needs work with paint and additional cleaning. Walking from the 1 train to the iconic Lincoln center is a great experience.

The 7th Ave Line Local 1 train services here during the day, and the 2 also stops when it runs Local a night. The station's easy to use with a in-station transfer crossunder and having ADA-compliant accessibility. As one of the 28 stations in the original 1904 IRT lines, decades before the Lincoln Center was built and it was only just the 66th St. Station in the San Juan Hill section of town, you'll find the original ceramic trim maintained along the top of the platform walls. Enjoy this station's colored glass mosaic murals which decorate the walls with dramatic characters appearing to perform for passengers, including an often repeated diva in a golden hooded full length robe, which captures the light - as it should for a diva! They are what I normally catch through my train window as my Express train speeds by. In 1999, giving a nod to the Lincoln Center's dedication to the performing arts, MTA installed artist and activist Nancy Spero's "Artemis, Actobats, Divas and Dancers." This work immortalizes the period musicians, actors, dancers, acrobats, and other classic performers doing what they do best - put on a show! Better to check out close up when you're at this stop!

It is an ADA compliant accessible station. In 2006, the MTA did install colorful stained glass windows designed by Thai artist Skowman Hastanan "A Secret Garden: There's No Place Like Home" with flowers and animals. The picture of fish and lotus remind me of my late summer visits to the Secret Garden in Central Park's Conservatory Garden. An enjoyable work to check out!

Unfortunately it's neither ADA compliant, nor scheduled in the near future with accessibility upgrades. In 2006, the MTA installed faceted glass windows designed by Jamaican artist Noel Copeland named "Leaf of Life," honoring the Bronx's gardens and nature with each pane incorporating elements of plants. An interesting piece to check out.

One of the more interesting and very long platforms on the R/M lines, and the last stop in Astoria…read more The platforms have been updated with new barriers and look much safer than in years past. There are several exits on 46th and 48th streets on both sides of the platform, right next to WC Bryant High School, but the lighting is not that great. Personally, I don't like the new barriers installed as you can feel trapped in the station at night which is not safe. Use this station if you have to, but not during the night time.

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. Opening in 1918, this station was part of the extension of the dual contracts: an agreement between the City of New York and two private companies to build additional lines in Brooklyn. This station was built as an extension into Manhattan. In 2023, the station was renamed to included Stonewall (riots) in the name. The underground station has 2 side platforms and 4 tracks (middle ones being express, not stopping at this station).

This is another subway station that could definitely benefit from MTA equipping this station with elevators! People who cannot easily navigate the stairs, such as with strollers, carriages, or wheelchairs cannot easily use this subway station! MTA make this 116th St. Station accessible to everyone!

They're coming further into Brooklyn, don't you know? It is right near a very bad hospital that I would not want to be taken to if I needed medical services. However, if you got off at this stop by mistake or found you were going in the wrong direction you can just walk within the station to the other side & not be forced to spend more money to get the train in the opposite direction. Speaking of hipsters, make sure to check out the subway art/graffiti here. I've seen some great social commentary and generally insightful work at this station. It usually brings a smile to my face.
