Lexington Av/63 St — Local services in New York

This station is located in a rather luxurious area in Manhattan. This station is pretty new, being renovated in 2016 and being part of both the 63rd Street and Second Avenue subways, both new projects. The issue with this station is surprisingly with the newest addition of it, that which is the Third Avenue entrance.

This is probably, by far, the worst station on the Second Avenue Subway line. The homeless and disruptive people on the Q line in the UES, at 72nd, 86th, and 96th Street, come from and leave here. The F line has stinky cars all the time; it's unpleasant. Not to mention, when you get out of the station, you are on Lexington/3rd Avenue; what are you going to do there? Not much to do. If you continue onto the Q line, you may experience one of the...
