You probably ride the NYC subways every week but did you know that before the subways we had miles of elevated tracks in the city? Did you know the very first subway was a pneumatic tube that stretched only a few hundred feet and did you know that the original Penn Station was bigger and more beautiful than Grand Central??    Our tours are designed for people who live, work and play in New York.  We give you an opportunity to see the city that surrounds you every day in a totally different light! Join a few dozen fun and friendly people for this journey back in time!The group will meet at the D,D,F Line entrance on the northwest corner of 2nd Avenue and Houston at 11:45am.  We will begin our tour aboard subway car from the 1930’s!! that is in special operation on this day.  From there we will make stops at Penn Station, Grand Central for brief history tours and end the tour with a ride past 2 “ghost” stations including the famous City Hall Station.

Some of the things you will see along the way:

-Grand Central then and now.

-The ghosts stations at 18th and City Hall (ride through)

-Amazing remnants of the old Penn Station.

You will also see fantastic pictures of the subway from its beginning to the famous graffiti cars of the 80’s.

Can I come alone?  Yes 98% of those attending will likely come on their own

How long will it take?  Start to finish about 3 hours.

How much does it cost? $25 for the tour and you will likely have to swipe your metrocard 2-3 times.
