Awesome Subway

Sideway Signs makes officially licensed replicas of the New York City Subway signs. Each replica is made of MDF wood and is painted, stenciled, and screenprinted by hand. They come in three sizes (17″, 24″, and 34″) and include a hanger for mounting. If you want something smaller, check out the shop’s art prints.

Musician Navzad Dabu provided late-night commuters in NYC’s Metropolitan Avenue / Grand Street subway station with a phenomenal private performance. His graveyard shift concert included back-to-back covers of a dozen Radiohead tracks. We would have stood there for the whole show and missed our train.

We can feel it all over. One of the funkiest songs ever written has got to be Stevie Wonder’s Sir Duke. Recently, the members of the the artist collective known as Apartment Sessions turned in a rousing, appropriately brass-heavy performance of the track on NYC’s J Train, lead off by the soulful lead vocals of Aneesa Folds.

Improv Everywhere confuses and amuses New York Subway passengers once again, this time setting up a late night talk show on a random subway car. Though it might have been more entertaining without pants.

Belief’s clever skate deck is decorated to look like a New York subway car, and includes a marker and stickers you can use to tag it with your own custom graffiti – without fear of the MTA cops.
