Abandoned Station Entrance: Bowery
A decade ago, myself and ntwrkguy were the first to explore the newly abandoned queens-bound Bowery station. Since that time, this station and tunnel became something of a tourist attraction: an easy spot for beginners to enter and get a taste of what the NYC Subway system has to offer.This is not to say that this tunnel didn’t hold secrets.

Deep below NYC lays this mythical location, where serious writers put up blockbuster pieces for only the select few that are daring enough to find this subway tunnel to view and enjoy. Here’s a sampling of what can be found in this amazing location.

Smith’s Dungeon

The virus had me within its grips. The week long struggle had placed me in a painfully immobile state, wasting away the afternoons and evenings snoozing in bed, doped up on a confused mix of painkillers and steroids. There’s not enough meds in the world though to cure that third-rail itch though, and a journalist in town from Australia was itching for some action… so there was only one thing to do. -
Shit Track
You might be surprised to learn that most NYC subway tunnels are devoid of rats. The rats, you see, only live around the station platforms – because that is where the food is.
