We went to the New York Transit Museum over the weekend. You’d think this has very little to do with beer, but beer advertising has always been commonplace on the subway (aside from, you know, those few years of prohibition). The subway cars on display at the museum carry period-specific advertising, so naturally, beer ads are part of the hundreds of ads.

These days on the subway, we’re overwhelmed with ads from Budweiser more than any other brewer.

The “Humans of New York Community” received a proclamation yesterday at City Hall for its “outstanding support of the Bedford-Stuyvesant YMCA and of all of New York City.” And the proclamation didn’t even mention the timeless Christopher Walken Rex that we bequeathed upon our fair city.

Take a trip through NY’s income inequality by riding the subway:

youngbrokeawesome:

Someone at the New Yorker who really loves infographics whipped up this awesome interactive chart that shows the median income of every stop of every subway line in the city. The richest subway stop? The Chambers Street 1,2 and 3, A and E stops, the World Trade Center E stop all have median incomes of $205,192. The poorest stop in the system is Sutter Ave on the L, coming in at $12,288. Brooklyn’s number one!
