It’s been available as a layer on Google Maps for BlackBerry devices for a while, but it looks like Google formally announced the MTA NYC Subway transit layer for the standard version of Google Maps. Rather than simply showing the station stops like Google Maps has been doing, the new layer actually shows you how each line travels from point to point.
Looks like there will soon be no use for this digital version of the official MTA NYC Subway map.

Wow, I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen a cake fashioned to look like a New York City MTA Subway car (an F train, too!). It’s not perfect, but it is kind of neat I think, so kudos to Dahlia’s Cakes for putting this together.

For its latest stunt, Improv Everywhere set up a photo studio inside a Subway car and convinced people that the MTA commissioned them to take photos of all passengers for use in a year book to be published at the end of the year.
Some folks were happy to oblige and some of the results of the makeshift studio can be seen in the portraits below. Nice!

Corey linked this video from Ignantwitted that gives us all a clear cut example of what not to ask a Subway performer. I love how cool she was about it. Most girls I know would have kicked this guy in the nuts.

Take a ride around 104th Street in NYC (circa 1899) in this elevated Subway video taken by Thomas Edison. [via]

Nordstrom is selling this vintage New York City Subway map dress that’s made from silk. It’s imported and it’s $250! But don’t rely on it 100% for directions as the map has changed drastically since this design seen here.
Thanks ANIMAL!
