Pulling All The Stops

The New York Daily News compiled a list of the worst subways in New York. I'm a total sucker for these things, so I decided to spotlight it today.

Here's the short list (read the article for further details):

• 205th St./Norwood, the Bronx, D line
  
• 182nd/183rd Sts., Fordham area, the Bronx, B and D lines
  
• Third Ave./138th St., South Bronx, No. 6 line
  
• Bowery, Chinatown, Manhattan, J, M, Z lines
  
• Brook Ave., Mott Haven section, the Bronx, No. 6 line
  
• Fulton St.-Broadway/Nassau, Financial District, Manhattan, J, M, Z, 2, 3, 4, 5, A and C lines
  
• 21st St., Long Island City, Queens, G line
  
• Mosholu Parkway, Norwood section, the Bronx, No. 4 line
  
• Bay Parkway, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, N line
  
• Smith/Ninth Sts., Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, F and G lines

For my money, the two that should have been included and weren't are as follows:

• Boro Hall/Court St. Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, 2,3,4,5,N,R,M and J lines: This definitely wins the award for the smelliest station, especially if you are exiting from the 2 or 3 train. The stench is overwhelming.
  
• Chambers St., Financial District, Manhattan E line: Again, more for the stink than the appearance. It just reeks of overused mops.

But the Daily News is so right about Smith/9th and Carroll Gardens stops. Yeesh!
