Christopher St. (PATH)

Wait, didn’t I already cover this? Well, yes, but also no. Meet: PATH’s Christopher Street.

PATH signage

The station is served by trains to Journal Square and Hoboken, coming from Herald Square. There is a singular island platform, with benches, stairs, and whatnot. There’s also turnstiles and a staircase up to street level. As for the headhouse, it’s pretty unassuming, much like 9th Street (the next station up). However, also much like 9th Street, it’s not accessible. If you need accessibility, your best bet would be to take the M8 to the BDFM and change at Herald Square instead. Yeah, sorry, but PATH in Midtown isn’t known for accessibility.

The good: It exists. It also serves the West Village and gives a direct connection to Jersey City and Hoboken.

The bad: It’s inaccessible. There’s buses but it’s out of the way to get to an accessible station. The platforms are narrow as hell. NIMBYism even led to an entrance rebuild being cancelled. Bloody NIMBYs…

Nearby points of interest: You have a pier, a relatively quiet part of Greenwich Village (but remember, this is Greenwich Village, so quiet by that standard still isn’t really quiet – especially during Pride month), and while further than the 1’s stop, the Stonewall inn.

Transit connections:
PATH (JSQ-33rd St., Hoboken-33rd St./Yellow, Blue)
MTA bus (M8, M20)

Overall, this station is really old and actually kinda sucks. Especially for accessibility.

Rating: 5/10
