LRG Posted September 27, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2009 When out for a day of railfanning, what are good places close to the 468 subway stations to grab a snack (bagel, hot dog, pretzel, slice of pizza, etc.)? Please include the subway station and line(s). At Bedford Avenue and North 7th Street on the , there's a pizza spot near the entrance which sells pizzas for $1.25 a slice! They're medium-sized though, you you really should by two. Why not, as most pizza stores sell pizza for between $2.50 and $3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted September 27, 2009 I would like to contribute the Bagel Buffet at 406 Sixth Avenue just up from the West Eighth Street entrance to West Fourth Street-Washington Square (. I haven't been in there beyond breakfast, but a nice, little place to relax with a cup of coffee and a bagel while railfanning the Eighth or Sixth Avenue IND.

traildriver Posted September 27, 2009 Share #16 Posted September 27, 2009 Penn Station, along the LIRR concourse has a lot of eateries from 8th av all the way to 7th av. Grand Central Terminal has an entire food court on the lower level in addition to the already mentioned Junior's. And it has the famous Oyster Bar, the upscale Michael Jordan's Steakhouse, and some others on the main level and the upper level. And it also has a gourmet food market on the Lexington av side. You won't go hungry there! Oh, and it has two levels of MN trains to watch, in addition to the subways. And don't forget the Transit Museum annex and bookstore.

EE Broadway Local Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share #25 Posted September 29, 2009 Taco Bell. How about Burger King or Blimpie Base or Mc D's or Sbarro or Wendy's or Subway or White Castle or Arby's? P.S. I remember there was a Sbarro's that had a picture window that looked into the 34th Street-Pennsylvania Station station . You could trainspot while you ate.
