Greenpoint Avenue G Station

This station is an epicenter of fun and excitement. First of all there are often lots of people on the platforms waiting 20 – 30 minutes for the G, so plenty of social opportunities. Then when the G arrives it only stops on half the track so you all get to run. Even better: if you’re heading to Manhattan you can go either direction (connect to L or E) so when the G comes on the other side of the tracks you get to run up and down stairs and see if you can make it. Which other station offers this level of boisterous entertainment?
Two stars for connecting Greenpoint to the rest of the city. Sort of.
Try take the ferry if you’re heading to Manhattan. Way better experience.

It’s bee rumored for years that the Greenpoint Ave station is haunted. I thought I once saw a ghost crossing the tracks.

Do you love rats? Piss? A train that stops a hundred feet from the subway entrance so you have to run to try to cram yourself into the train? Then fuck you and also welcome to Greenpoint.

An average subway station on the G Line. I truly hate the G, I will show up every half hour train, so I don’t go anywhere on the line too much.

If you live in Greenpoint, this station is your lifesaver and probably the only way to get into Queens and Manhattan. Sucks how the G tran don’t connect into Manhattan and doesn’t get you to ANY of the happening places in the city… even to Williamsburg (Bedford to be exact) you must transfer at Lorimer. Maybe MTA should extend the G train to at least Gramercy Park or near Madison Square Park or something… too bad Greenpoint is a working class neighborhood and doesn’t hold much power… but wait… the Upper East Side is rich but transporation sucks so it’s a tie lol

Ghost train
Stinky leaky station
Only choice in this north brooklyn neighborhood…
At least we still have a manned booth

The station stop on avenue Greenpoint, is like sparking up last nights half smoked joint.
You know you shouldn’t use it because it will leave you with a head ache in 25 minutes– because you are both sober and still waiting.
One plus is that they have the sign that lights up indicating which train is coming so you can run run run quick, and still miss it most times.
The posters always have a weird cut and paste assortment, currently Meryl Streep’s body has the head of an Ape, hmm maybe not so weird.
The rat to human ratio is low, about 1 per 25 people.
After administering a scientific PH test (pole to hipster ratio), it comes out at about 1.3 (mildly Euro).
Only 3 stars because there is a lack of live music down here. I think its time for the Asian guy on the 5 train playing that mini midi saxophone to find a new spot.
On a serious note, I use this station at all hours of the night, and not once do I feel scared, threatened or under dressed.
Sometimes, I feel that my jean-​jacket is too mainstream *sigh*.
