Grand St — Local services in New York

This station hits differently from every subway station I've been in and idk why. Maybe it's just the B/D trains. I've always found those 2 lines extremely wack, and having a station in this specific location of the city where those 2 are the only trains that serve it just brings out this weird feeling in me.

Or maybe it’s the Manhattan Bridge. As a sheltered Queens kid who hasn’t had many chances to take a train across this thing, I’ve always been a bit skeptical of what happens in there. Almost every time I go to this station, at least 2 downtown trains come before an uptown train does. That's kinda sus if you ask me. But maybe it's just trains delays. I did hear the Dekalb junction...

I have to say, while this station does have a lot of exits and a wide mezzanine, it can get very crowded as trains only come moderately, and the rotting food on the tracks makes the platform smell as if somebody had too much chill sauce while eating cheesy nachos and Panini's at the city dump :(. While many people use this station, I would only pass through...

Are is going thru gentrification over yhe past 5 years however still many empty stores and homeless folks tgat need help lots of fancy hotels for tourists still the cheap dirty Chinese bakeries and BBQ meat stores vegetable peddlers and all sorts of street vendors selling food to counterfeit Chinese watches and gold chains...
