36th Avenue (sometimes called 36th Avenue – Washington Avenue) is a local station on the BMT Astoria Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 36th Avenue and 31st Street, it is served by the N train at all times, and by additional Q train on weekdays.
This elevated station, opened on July 19, 1917, has three tracks and two side platforms. The center track is not used in revenue service.
Both platforms have beige windscreens that run along the entire length except for a small section on the Astoria-bound platform at the north end. Red canopies with green frames are at the center.
The station's only entrance is via an elevated station-house beneath the tracks. It contains two staircases to each platform, a waiting area covered with transite that allows free transfer between directions, turnstile bank, token booth, and three street stairs going down to all corners of 36th Avenue and 31st Street except the northeast one.
Famous quotes containing the word avenue:
“Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you’re the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he’s been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn’t commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
—Ernest Lehman (b.1920)
