Times Sq-42 St
ManhattanStep-free station
Times Square — The Theater District, and the busiest station in the system by a distance. The ball has dropped here on New Year's Eve since 1907.
Grand Central-42 St★ Antoine’s favorite
ManhattanStep-free station
Grand Central Terminal — Opened in 1913. The green ceiling in the main concourse is a map of the winter night sky — painted backwards, which nobody has ever fixed. Find the Whispering Gallery outside the Oyster Bar: speak into a corner and someone across the arch hears you.
Lines and stations come from the MTA’s official GTFS feed and subway stations dataset, current through 09/07/2026. Rush-hour express variants (6X, 7X, FX) are folded into the local line they share, which already stops at every station on that trunk.
