Before I moved to Brooklyn, I’m not sure if I had ever taken this train; maybe once or twice max. It kind of creeped me out because it is basically a Brooklyn train that makes a U-turn on the east side of Manhattan (it’s the brown line). Essentially, it was useless to me. Plus, it’s pretty ghetto and goes above ground. Trains in Manhattan don’t go above ground. Unless you’re in Harlem. Again, ghetto.

However, when it’s not frigidly cold or pouring rain, waiting for the train on this platform can be quite a pleasure. And the view when you head over the Williamsburg bridge is a damn fine one. It kind of reminds you why New York is the best city in the world. And that is not an opinion. It’s a fact.
