My favorite NYC Places

Guastavino's vaults and domes:

City Hall- Street level

Called “the world’s most beautiful former subway station” by Forgotten NY. It was closed to passenger service on 1945 and after 9/11 security measures restricting access to the areas around City
Hall. Now, if you want to see it, there is only two possible ways:

1- With the MTA Tour: "THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN: OLD CITY HALL STATION". For 40 $, some specific days on their calendar, you can see properly the station. (http://www.mta.info/mta/museum/programs.htm/).

2- Take the City Hall entrance above and go to the downtown platform of the green line. There wait until the train 6 stops, (last stop), and enter. You will go uptown instead of downtown, and if you keep looking on the right, (following the direction of the train), you will be able to see the famous station. But the station is dark and the train pass keep, so pay attention or you will miss it!
