Just below the streets of NYC, one can find one of the largest subway systems in the world, and one of the largest reminders of the ‘bad old days’ of NYC – where crime and despair ruled the day. In these tunnels, this NYC of the past lives on. Dirty, graffiti covered subway tunnels, where the homeless still occasionally make their homes and where serendipitous insomniac explorers lurk in the dark, waiting and watching. Where graffiti artists still get over, 2 decades after the trains were cleaned.

This book takes a hard look at this underground realm, through 280+ photographs, 7 chapters and 174 pages. This is a no holds barred view of the live tunnels, abandoned spaces, hidden niches and insane ‘transit recidivists’ that enjoy this inhospitable and deadly environment as if it were one huge all city amusement park. Admission is free, but your survival through the night will be questionable at best. Hop the turnstyle, take the ride.

The reviews are in!
“After having thoroughly reviewed this book the only action I see fit is to completely deny access to the subway system to any and every resident of NY State. To that end I’m currently drafting up legislation to make this a possibility” – Peter V. Astoria, NY

“Get real. This book is fiction – there are no explorers in the subway tunnels”. – Mayor Money B, Upper East Side
