What about monthly? Is there any way to do it, or do you have to do it weekly, or twelve taps a week, and get the second week free of charge?

I love 6 1/2 Avenue. I discovered when I started swimming during business trips at Athletic and Swim Center, which is down the escalator under the glass ceiling between 51st and 52nd - at the start of the underground corridor. I used the corridor to get from the club to the Time Life Building, which is between 51st and 50th, for an interview with People. I didn't realize the corridor went to Rockefeller Center. Now I have a better way to meet my friend, who works at Christie's, for lunch. Thank you for the great tour!

Este video vale oro, muchas gracias por compartirlo🙌🏽

Hey that ME 3:42 😁😁

tried using omny for the first time not too long ago and it simply would not work with my credit card. had to use another card, and when trying to use it again later the day it told me my limit was exceeded... like seriously? you cant ride the subway using omny more than once a day? super stupid... that coupled with the fact that its much slower trying to tap it until it works. physically inserting the metrocard is much faster and convenient, you dont have to sit there wondering if it went through or not. there is a physical feedback, and no second guessing whether it worked or not. furthermore, having two separate systems on the path train now is beyond an annoyance, like really... i have to carry two different subway cards (omny AND tapp)... whereas i used to be able to have just my metrocard for everything. really a bummer that they are FORCING this on us, by getting rid of the metrocard. terrible.

Thank you for sharing .

Thanks, Jeremy, for this informative tour, not only introducing 6-1/2 Ave but the fascinating underground routes so useful in unpleasant weather or just to feed one's curiosity relating to NYC's extensive "underground." It came at truly a good time, as I'll be back in the city later this month, so both "routes" are definitely on my to do list. Perhaps you've already done so (I'm new to your videos) but wonder if you might like to create a video on the McGraw Hill waterfall passage. I understand it to have recently been reopened after a long construction project blocked access. My fascination is cinematic, going back to the 1979 film "Last Embrace" which used the waterfall, the passage under it, and an inviting plaza as location for a scene with Roy Scheider and Marcia Rodd. Only recently did I - finally! - learn where that scene was filmed. Anyhow, just subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. Oh, yes, and thanks for not calling it a "hack" - Despicable term ;-)

If you use tap and pay the system still has issues with everything other then Apple pay. So the struggle continues even with tap OMNY pay.

Thanks 🙏 looking forward to summer streets 2024

great vid

especially tourists should think about buying an OMNY card, considering many banks charge (sometimes extremely high) foreign transaction fees.

OK, thanks, but what's about disability omny cards it suppose half fair crad yet because I am disability .

until OMNY has a monthly offer; which I was chatting with someone at Stillwell terminal a couple weeks ago as they were installing the new OMNY machines & they said that "its in the works", Im sticking with the metrocard cause it still has the 30-day option. Over the last 26 months since March 2022 when I've gone back to the 30-day unlimited (excluding June/September/October 2022, October 2023, February & March this year), Ive been using the 30-day pass for 20 of the last 26 months.This should be used by commuters who use the subway/local bus often cause the 30-day unlimited has its benefits over OMNY fare capping. For March/May/July/August/October/December, I'd start on the 2nd day of those months cause they have 31 days; January is different cause I'd start that 30-day pass on NYD cause of the fact February is a short month. So instead, I'd start the February monthly pass on Jan 31st & is good through March 1st (*February 29th if it's a leap year like it was 2.5 months ago & next would be 2028*). Then for April/June/September/November, I start on the 1st day of those months cause it's 30 days. Below is some math outright 30-day pass $132 per month x 12 months = $1584 a year 52 sets of 7-day passes; $34 per week x 52 weeks = $1768

If you take the elevator at the 47th st or 48th st it'll be less walkig ot the ticketing area and the tracks.

this video should have 5k views not 500 😁 great walk-through

Thanks, Jeremy, for this engaging and highly informative video. I'd only visited Grand Central Madison once and was hugely impressed at what an engineering feat this was, especially considering the lowest track levels are an amazing 14 or 15 stories bneath the street grid, with multiple levels between them and the streets, as well as the spacious and attractive design scheme - truly world class. That one visit, with lots of still photography, left me a bit disoriented as to the mezzanine and concourse levels' relation to the rest of GCT, but your video puts it all in great perspective. I particularly like your treatment of the connections between Metro North platforms and GC-M involving the extensive subterranean passageways designed into the original GCT that actually run between the track levels - pretty impressive in their own era! The signage, of course, is excellent, so even the casual user can find their way; but for those like myself who are fascinated not only by trains but by such complexes of underground concourses, passageways, etc, your video becomes a wonderful guide for future visits, providing the "geography" behind where one is actually going. I plan to watch it again - at least once! - before my next visit!

I used to walk those corridors on my way from GCT to Columbus Circle 15+ years ago. It was especially helpful on those hot and humid summer days with those torrential rain storms and on cold, windy and/or snowy days. I could walk there faster than taking the subway. Sometimes even faster than a cab depending on traffic. I stumbled upon them accidently after making the route for some time! I didn't realize there was a connector to Rockefeller Center. Maybe that's newer? I love underground at Rockefeller Center. That's a hidden gem too. Also, the underground walkways that take you northbound out of the lower level of GCT are great too! Thanks for making and sharing this video. You've included some great details and tips in the video and walked the POP in an impressive 12 minutes time!

I tried to get the card here but i couldn't cross over!

I will say, it looks nice but dead/sterile.........I think a few more places for shops or areas where you can eat, even an arcade would've been nice. The old penn station was odd but I did like the stores and all those places to eat that exist/existed there. And surely the arcade from way back!

Neat video!

Very informative, thank you so much! Just one question; Is Metrocard still available? Because I have got to know that the MTA would be scraping the Metrocard and its vending machines soon!

Do OMNY Card have 30 day and 7 day unlimited too? If yes, how do i do it? Cause it might be a bit different on the screen machine.

The rolling 7 day window is a game changer for omny. When I was in New York in Febuary, I was really looking forward to finally just use my smartphone for access and not get frustrated with the Metrocard anymore (especially coming in via JFK and the AirTrain. So buying two goddamn Metrocards within 5min, just because someone decided you cannot use the AirTrain Metrocard for Unlimited passes). But the joy didn't last long, once I realized (luckily before I first used my phone on a reader) it only runs from Monday to Sunday. I was there from Thursday to Tuesday. So yeah, Metrocard once again.....

I gave OMNY a try last June when I came to NYC for a long weekend. I had to buy it at a small retailer near Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Ave station, but I was able to load $33 on it for a week pass(I got to my 12th tap on my 3rd day of the 5 day trip). I love the fare capping system. I hope other cities can catch on with it as well. It would be nice if stations like 34th Street Penn Station, 42nd Street PABT, Howard Beach, Sutphin Blvd-Archer Ave, and Jackson Heights Roosevelt Ave would get these OMNY card vending machines, as those are the stations that most tourists would use 1st on their trip coming in from Amtrak, the PABT, or the airports.

Loved the video Jeremy

bro if they have kids, they can just go under or if they tall, hop over simple🤷

I was able to reload my omny card today at 86th & Lex. Really easy to use. Love it already.

hey jeremy its Dylan

Another excellent installment Jeremy! Native New Yorkers avoid Times Square at all costs for very good reason, and you explained it in no uncertain terms. Well done!

Oh thank you so much for pointing out where the elevators are to get to the train because I am really afraid of taking the escalators since they are steep and have a phobia of heights.

Nice to see "Men in black" in real action. 😉

Very interesting, this is the first time I heared of Summer Street. I will put it on my todo list for the next visits to NYC. I like your style of videos. Go on with it. 😀

Why are there a lower and upper level station

Great video, we started at 8am. First half great, then quite packed on way back down. Incredible weather, and riding uptown, we shared with what seemed to be everyone entered in NYC marathon. Loads of runners.

When i came into GC from Ronkonkoma in late spring, all the escalators from the platform were going DOWN only... there were people with kids and luggage walking for ever looking for a way out. 😔🙄

I'm taking the LIRR into Penn station from JFK when I visit the city later this year. My hotel is in the Meatpacking District, so I'm happy I can use this route to walk to my hotel.

Andrew Cuomo was not a disgrace governor at least left New Yorker with something. What this lady is going to leave New York with? She scratch the air train plan from La Guardia to Roosevelt avenue just because a few people started to protest.

Most likely no benches to keep homeless from sleeping there as I’m sure the station operates 24/7. I’m old enough to have probably taken a train to Chicago from the original Penn Station, as I was born in 1955.

It’s a trestle to mimic an actual train trestle.

Thanks! I have been in the Train Hall but wasn't sure how it connected to the Highline. Appreciate this!

Thanks for walking tour 👍🏙️

Long walk? 😊

I have both arrived and departed via Amtrak at Moynihan.

No benches at the station due to the homeless

The original plan was to move the entire Penn Station across the street to the old Farley post office and name it Moynihan Station in honor of Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Can’t figure out why they piecemealed it like they did. Seems like a half baked idea, Penn station under MSG is an absolute dump!

🕊🇺🇲💕

What?! The natural wood trestle is beautiful and fits with the whole theme of the elevated railway!

Very cool and interesting. Keep up the good work 👍
