How to Make a Subway Map with John Tauranac
Hear from an author and map designer who has been creating maps of the NYC subway, officially and unofficially, for over forty years!
We’re excited to announce our newest tour, the Brooklyn Underground Subway Tour, the BK version of our popular NYC Underground Subway tour! This new Untapped New York tour is led by Rayn Riel, a bona-fide subway expert and licensed tour guide. We have met a lot of subway experts here at Untapped New York, and there is no one more knowledgable about the Brooklyn subway system than Rayn. Now, after two sold-out tours with our Untapped New York Insiders, we’re bringing the Brooklyn Underground Subway Tour to the public.
Brooklyn Underground Subway Tour
Brooklyn was the second borough to be connected to the IRT subway line in 1908, so it is just as packed with hidden histories as the subway in Lower Manhattan. On this tour, you will uncover abandoned IRT, BMT, and IND stations hidden in plain sight, experience the design of the oldest subway station in Brooklyn, explore the highest rapid transit station in the world, practice your moonwalk (no pressure) where Michael Jackson filmed the music video, and discover secrets about the country’s busiest commuter railroad (LIRR). You will learn and see how the New York City subway helped to connect and develop Brooklyn, New York’s most populous borough! (Note: this tour visits areas open to the public and does not access any restricted areas).
Our Brooklyn Underground Subway Tour will run in April, May and June. Get your tickets here!
