A Bar on the Subway?!?!? 😳 This great photo from 1962 shows the NYC Transit Authority "Bar Car" that traveled between Times Square and South Ferry. Adorned with fresh flowers, pastel lighting, and draperies, a bartender served straphangers champagne and bagels between 42nd Street and South Ferry. Today an increased presence of NYPD officers enforcing "quality of life issues" will be quick to a ticket for subway riders enjoying a glass of champagne, but in 1962 the "Dream Car" was part of a Clean Subways campaign sponsored by the New York City Transit Authority. Tap the photo above to purchase a fine-art print of the "Dream Car" from NYC Urbanism's archive. #subway #mtanyc #mta #barcar #nycsubway #nyctransit #grandcentral #brooklyn #manhattan #nycurbanism #publictransit #metronorth #urbanism #urbanplanning #skyline #urban #railfan #railroad #train #subaways #nychistory #nyhistory #southferry #southferrynyc #1train #nycurbanism (at Times Square, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lg8jUHRFf/?igshid=tt7i2cm49wws
