Beneath New York City lies a vast network of abandoned tunnels, caverns, nooks and crannies that the average joe will never see. But urban explorer Steve Duncan is not your average joe! As we've seen before, he and filmmaker Andrew Wonder really like getting dirty below grade. Their hunt to go where you shouldn't continues—and now over the next few weeks, Gothamist and MyBlockNYC are happy to bring you glimpses of where they've been. First up? An unfinished and abandoned IND station off the G train in Brooklyn!
Probably best if you don't go checking out that unused 1930s station yourself (since doing so is illegal and all), but how cool is it to see that it exists? Stupid Great Depression taking away our potential mass transit options! Check back next week for Duncan and Wonder's further adventures underground.
