Okay, let’s all agree that all NYC subway stations don’t particularly smell good. But there are some that smell absolutely horrible. I asked a bunch of people where they thought were the worst smelling stations and came up with this list. These are in no particular order.image – [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/tylerbeaulawrence/6149161012]Flickr / Tyler Wilson1. Union Square 4/5/6, L, N/Q/R It smells horrible. I hate it. Especially the long tunnel bit. It’s hot, it smells, it’s crowded. Fucking awful. Don’t they powerwash the platforms? Body odor AND piss. Wow. 4/5/6 uptown platform in Union Square by the 3rd car from the back, a fan blows a smell down from a vent in the sidewalk that can only be likened to a burning corpse bathing in feces. image – Flickr / Barney Wrightson2. 49th Street, N/Q/R A corner there always stinks like piss. image – Flickr / Diego Torres Silvestre3. 125th Street The downtown platform makes me GAG. image – Flickr / Scott Beale4. 42nd Street, B/D/F/M The air there is so stuffy and oh my god, the smell. Unbelieveable. I saw some girl throw up on the tracks the other day. Only in NY. image – Flickr / Kevin Dooley5. 59th Street, 4/5/6 Why does it smell like stale soy sauce all the time there? Yeah, specifically the express platforms! It smells like every restaurant in the city slow cooked their garbage for a week and hid it in those tunnels. 6. 6th Avenue, L The 6th avenue L train platform used to so consistently and pungently smell like piss that I kept a scarf in my bag to cover my nose. I do think it’s getting better though. image – Flickr / Young Sok Yun 윤영석7. 34th Street, B/D/F/M, N/Q/R Herald Square 34st is my number 1. There was a HUGE (like cat-size) decomposing rat on the tracks yesterday. The amount of trash stewing in the water never ceases to amaze me. That smell is unbelievable. image – Flickr / Peter Cigliano8. 34th Street, A/C/E When you go under the tracks to get to the express platform, it smells like someone peed on the ceiling, the walls, the floors and rubbed your nose in it. OH man, the 34th St. tunnel to get to the express… that smell is unforgettable. And I want to forget. 9. Spring Street, C/E When I used to work around SoHo, I got off at the Spring Street location. There’s a tunnel that you use to get to uptown or downtown side. That tunnel, I nicknamed the Piss Hall, because no matter what season or time of day, it smelled like stanky piss. The tunnel. It smells. Don’t go there. I remember taking my parents around SoHo and when we decided to go home, we got on the uptown side by mistake, so we walked down the tunnel to get to the downtown platform. Oh my GOD it smelled. My mom said she felt faint from how dense the smell of pee was. image – Flickr / The All-Nite Images10. 53rd Street, E/M The 6 under pass at 53rd and Lex smells like a portajohn after a month of constant use. There’s one corner that also smells strongly of mold, and yet there’s none visible. It makes me really curious about what it must look like behind the tile. I have morbid curiosity when it comes to grossness. image – Flickr / Rob Blatt11. Nostrand Avenue, A/C It smells like piss every time the C comes through and blows the pee-soaked air right into your nose. Ugh, THIS. It smells so bad, I hold my breath while I run up the stairs. I really love that feeling of clammy subway air that mingles with the pee particles and you can feel it sticking to your body. It’s really great.
更难受,说实话。
人挤人那种,和不挤但要闻一个屁,我觉得对我是个极其艰难的抉择。
七号线还可以,终点就是时代广场,可以先去洛克菲勒,然后去五大道,三十四街。
不过晚上人巨多,很挤。。我带小孩刚去,小孩一路烦躁,人多,不愿意走路。。

好的,可以考虑
只能让她爸扛着,
不需要打车,七号线不是rush hour还好。
进城后,这几天打车也不容易,人很多,尤其是晚上。
想也不要想。真的,我背了一会儿,果断决定,回家。
非常扫兴的过程
patpat...
最为女儿奴老爸,只要女儿高兴,让背多久背多久。。。。
都没兴趣。。。某人不知道怎么想的,突然来这么一出,结果花了五六十的车票,被溜了一个小时的腿,洛克菲勒中心那,挤得,差点把小孩给挤哭了,最后饭也没吃上。
回家路上,一路没理老婆。她也知道自己搞砸了。
哦,那我再看看,这么夸张,你们是周末晚上去的?
你说请我吃你做的饭,这么长时间了,我到现在没看见什么样。。。
嗯,有道理,是这么回事。。
体验下吧,到时候拿到别的地方的offer,拒纽约的,可以这么写信,all good blah blah ,但唯一让我难以接受的是纽约地铁的臭,实在是太臭了,i am a lady of my breath as well as my principal...我无奈只好拒绝你们的offer。
同时cc纽约市长办公室。
算帮我们纽约一把!
周日。。。
千万不要周末晚上去。。。
是吧。。我刚才就觉得有些怀疑。。。哈哈
你的证词就弱了很多,,credibility的问题吧。。
有次看个电视节目很搞笑,有个人在时代广场随地撒尿被告了。然后上庭时法官说,下次尿急记得去酒店!
Diversity让每个人都能fit in 而且纽约有种特别的活力芝加哥啥的大城市都没有
没这么夸张吧,也就几个游人多的地方厕所紧张,但是你在纽约生活这么多年居然没有secrete pee place吗? 我在曼哈顿住过两年,都有自己的secrete pee place,就是对公众开放但是一般人不知道的。
Hotel啊,很多人都不知道中城的很多hotel都有厕所的, hiahia。不要外传哦。
味道是臭的,但是觉得这段文字写的不错:)
好像先是city council member, 当了一届public advocate后就升官了。是纽约继Mayor Dinkins后第一个民主党市长。
