Among the highlights: • See the abandoned “ghost station” at City Hall • An overview of New York public transportation back in the 1800s, and why The Great Blizzard of 1888 was the catalyst for a subway system • The history and inside story of the creation of the original 1904 subway line, and how it grew into the most extensive transportation system in the world • A closer look at the art, architecture, and secrets hiding in plain sight of stations including Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall, Astor Place, and Times Square The tour is 2.5 hours. It begins at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall and ends at Times Square
