NEW YORK TRANSIT MUSEUM
This is the most underground museum in the city, sort of. It’s located in a repurposed 1930s subway station. Learn about NYC’s world-famous subway system, including how the first tunnels were carved through Manhattan’s bedrock, why the train lines use letters and numbers, and about the public awareness campaigns to teach riders to cover their mouths when coughing. The tram, commuter rail and bus services – including the double-deckers that operated until the 1070s – are also featured. R130 ($10). It’s on Boerum Place in Brooklyn. Subway: #2, 3, 4, 5 trains to Borough Hall Station; A, C or F trains to Jay StreetMetroTech Station. nytransitmuseum.org
