There's nothing more fun than seeing Hollywood inaccurately portray New York City as it's happening and before it hits the big screen. This pop-up subway stop is the latest example—this was spotted today on 57th Street and 10th Avenue... nowhere near where the 7 train runs. Which means, since this is clearly not meant to be a portrayal of Times Square or Grand Central (where the 7 stops in Manhattan), it has to be Queens. Woody Allen, we really hope you are not responsible for this.
Previously: Lincoln Center's subway stop comes to DUMBO and Men In Black bring an old school subway stop to Brooklyn Heights.
UPDATE: This was for Law & Order SVU!
