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.

Yeah, specifically the express platforms!

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.
是我的错觉还是？
什么原因造成的啊？刚坐了地铁，那味道实在是strong啊。。。再这么下去，简直难以想象啊。。
以前我觉得到洛克菲勒中心那几条线算比较干净的，好久没坐，刚坐了一下，也不行了。
这个没注意到特别多了多少。不过有个化妆成卡通人物的搂着我儿子就鼓动他照相，我手机照完，他扔下我儿子，上来就要钱啊，说I work for tip,donot work for free。
都是老中医，我虽然知道要钱，但这么没有专业精神的，刚才还卡通善良，拍完就变脸上来就凶巴巴要钱的，真是。。。。人心不古啊。
这个时候的橱窗秀什么的，也挺好看啊。。。也有好的地方么。。
就是这地铁真是越来越臭。
看来不是我个人的错觉啊。。。这个市长上任以来都特么的做了些什么啊？就见他电线杆子似的晃啊晃的。
真的，脏乱差，空气污浊，味道不好，到还可以忍，以前就这样。现在的问题是尿臊味和不知道什么腐烂变臭的味道混合在一起。。。真让人够够的。
记得以前看纽约人最烦地铁的什么，有好多，什么耗子，气味，漏雨，噪音，等等，但公认的最烦的就是身边的其他乘客。。。。哈哈
我还是喜欢彭博，甚至朱利安尼当市长。
哈哈，握手！ 我这次穿了一双比较新的鞋，曼哈顿了一天，地铁什么的， 回家鞋底油腻腻的，黑乎乎的， 我平时在家小town穿好久都不会那样。。。 真服了！
说来，我真纳闷，那些举个纸牌子就要钱的，一天能要多少啊？ 好奇的我，都想试一下了，看看一天能收入多少。
不是，非洲才不这么臭哄哄的，感觉纽约那种臭只有发达国家奶制品和肉制品人均消耗到一定程度才有的。发展中国家真臭不出这么sophisticated 和blunt。 就感觉放屁一样， 发展中国家放的屁也臭，但比起发达国家的人放的屁，那简直小清新了，算是！
主要是有些人到处乱尿.
纽约芝加哥不都这样么。。。
谢谢你的证词，非常有感染力和说服力。
谢谢，我也是深深的蹙眉思考了很久，精炼出的这文字
我上次做芝加哥的也是10年前了， 比纽约是好很多了。 DC的就没有纽约这种臭哄哄。
我靠，这大哥总结的太具体了，对气味的辨识，简直是专业级选手啊！！！
11 Of The Worst Smelling Subway Stations In New York City
Michael Koh
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.
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.
A corner there always stinks like piss.
The downtown platform makes me GAG.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
湾区还讲什么文化啊。。。呵呵，我现在发现一些湾区住久的朋友视野都越来越窄，IT好像是一切似的。说起周末去百老汇看歌剧，一个个都不可思议的瞠目结舌。。。问她们周末做什么，打乒乓球。。。
啧啧。。。哈哈
风大的好处之一啊。。。哈哈
七号线是因为很多段在地表上，风吹日晒的不容易臭。
文化气息没得说，看演唱会音乐会分分钟的事。
这帖子把气味形容的....我想象一下都已经快受不了了……大家文笔太厉害了！
有猪党带领，只会越来越差，呵呵
这种收留所不是光接受单亲妈妈那种可怜的homeless，很多人都有前科，毒瘾，或精神问题，从外州跑来纽约，因为纽约现在是shelter state。
每月政府要为每个房间花3000刀。最近一个曾因猥亵八岁女童坐牢的男子释放后就搬进了Sunset Park的收容所，离附近小学才不到100米！Sunset Park已有五个这种旅馆改建的收留所，明年还要加三个！居民都在抗议，希望有结果。
blessssss他早日下台！
大家记得投票去.....千万要让这白痴滚蛋
纽约人民怎么选上的他，真是的。他以前做什么的啊？
2002年，我来纽约了。那时候比现在真的是好很多了，也破旧，但真没现在这么臭哄哄的。。
没有，就在曼哈顿。。。可能你是常坐，习惯了。或者坐的路线固定的，先对干净些的站
很多人都说，冬天比夏天臭。。。
我依稀记得大约14年前，地铁司机的工资是七万左右。可能数据有误，请指正。现在工资有多少大约？
没发现homeless也多了？
刚才Google了下，他以前的职位，难怪。。
这种人左起来，真要命。。
我倒真没觉得多太多啊，就是觉得地铁里卖唱的艺人少了，不知道是不是被熏走了。
谢谢你的证词，very impressvie.
我想陪审团已经能做出她们的决定了。
by the way, 真奇怪啊，我也是十五六条街是可以走的距离，超过17、8条街就觉得要地铁或出租了。
真奇妙，人对距离的感受。
哈哈，原来是这样。。。MTA的是人人都恨啊。。。纽约的共和党真不长脑子。。。
哦卖糕的。。这本来是一个严肃的公共卫生问题，怎么搞的。。。
唉，不管怎样，谢谢你的证词。令人痛苦的难以接受却不得不接受的convincing。
vely vely stunning statement.
本来打算开车去法拉盛吃一顿，然后带娃坐地铁去看x'mas window display。是不是需要改改计划，请推荐好的安排，谢谢
