It's a beautiful day outside, but if you need to brighten yours up a bit more why don't you take this express train to Brighten Beach! Though don't expect anything different from what you'd find here.
Previously on this week's signage errors: take the G to Brodaway, and the inconsistent Do Not Lean font. What's fun is that it seems like the more typos people find, the more new mistakes pop up. (And it's also nice not to be on the receiving end of all this nit-picking for ounce.<--Kidding!) If you catch anything awry on your commute, send a photo to: tips(AT)gothamist(DOT)com.
