Where to stop along the Second Ave Subway
After nearly 90 years of on-and-off planning, 10 years of construction and $4.4 billion in costs, the Second Avenue subway is now a reality, having opened on New Year’s Day in 2017. It’s the largest addition to the NYC subway system since 1989, with three new stations (72nd Street, 86th Street and 96th Street), one renovated transfer station (Lexington Avenue-63rd Street) and two miles of shiny subway track.
The line, an extension of the Q train, runs under Second Avenue through Manhattan’s densely populated Upper East Side and is expected to serve roughly 200,000 riders a day. Read on for a quick guide to sights, snacks and shopping you can seek out near its subway stops.
