New York City subway station. Can a station ever get a five-star rating? I don't think so. It's a utilitarian place, any rating is suspect, there's some seating. They do have some wonderful tile murals in the station, both at the subway line where you've already paid your fare as well as outside. Because of the murals I'm giving it a four-star rating. Subway station was reasonably clean, there are no homeless there. The station also is separate on either side northbound southbound which is one side of the street to Brooklyn southbound. I'll call that is on the west side of the 6th avenue. Northbound to Queens is on the east side the entrance. You can't transfer from North to southbound at the station without getting out and paying another fair.
I like the homeless guys trying to sell me a fair at 2am, and how it's a roll of the dice a train will stop here on weekends. Oh don't forget the cops who stare at you cause they think you going to hop or the white women who get scared of you for existing.
It's a convenient station with art and wifi. However, there is no connecting platform between uptown bound and downtown bound trains, so make sure you enter the correct entrance.
I hopped in the F train going to 23rd street and came across this Beautiful work of Art. It reminded me of the 1970/80 trains painted with Graffiti all over, but this is just plain, simple fun art.
23 Street is situated in the Lower West Side of Mannhatan. It is served by the F train at all times, except when there are works being done in which case trains will run on the Q and D lines, and the M train which only operates during Weekdays. 23rd Street is a decent station. With connection to the PATH and M23 SBS, 23 Street is used often, I don't remember there being any problems so 23 street has the green light.
You can transfer to the F, M or PATH trains but you're out of luck if you walk with a cane or wheelchair. This station and all of it's entrances are not accessible.
As a non-local, but frequent visitor, I was thrown off by the unclear signage regarding the frequency of the M train. I don't know when "evening" begins.
Otherwise a downtown-only stop like any other. We had live music during our visit around 730pm on a Sunday evening. You might have the same luck. The drummer and boom box cover of "Eye of the Tiger" was worth going back for if you also need to catch a train that stops there (like the E, which appears on no signs) or have the time to wait for one that doesn't.
Really only -1 star for not having the train I needed.
