Going to the NY Transit museum may not be at the top of everyone's to-do list while in New York City, but sometimes in the middle of January you find yourself at a loss for something to do and you brave the cold to walk on over to the Transit museum. And actually, it ain't too bad. The museum is an actual working subway station, though trains do not come through there anymore. You can learn a little something about how the subway tunnels were constructed, what the old turnstiles and tokens were like, and you can play around in some old (sorry, "vintage") subway cars. Fun fact for the day: there is a large, powerful vacuum hose that the MTA uses to extract the coins from the bus fare boxes.
So cute!
