Alrighty, so the second local stop on the F/M between W 4th and 34th, let’s look at it. It is a bit unusual though, but here we go.
The PATH platform is pretty normal, with not a lot going on. There’s stairs down to an underpass, some benches, among other things. The track layout of the station is rather unusual, with the F/M flanking the PATH platforms. As for the station mezzanine, it’s normal with OMNY machines, fare control for both PATH and the MTA, and a station agent. I’ve somehow managed to completely forget to photograph the MTA part of the station (don’t ask how), but I can assure it’s nothing crazy and has your usual station amenities. Street level also doesn’t have anything crazy, maybe aside from the M23-SBS.
The good: It exists! Also, the IND artwork features DOGS! Arf arf! (please note I am not a puppygirl)
The bad: It’s not accessible. š Also, no free crossover between the F/M platforms.
Nearby points of interest: The National Museum of Mathematics is nearby! As is Madison Square Park and the Flatiron Building, but the R/W is much closer to those.
Transit connections:
PATH (JSQ-33, HOB-33)
6th Ave. Subway (Lines F, M)
MTA bus (M7, M23-SBS, M55, SIM1C, SIM3, SIM3C, SIM10, X27, X28)
Overall, it’s nothing too crazy. Next!
