Housed in an abandoned 1930s subway station at Schermerhorn Street and Boerum Place, the New York Transit Museum (Tues-Fri 10am-4pm, Sat & Sun noon-5pm; $3, children $1.50; tel 718/243-3060, www.mta.nyc . ny.us/museum) offers more than 100 years worth of transportation history and memorabilia. Some of the better items are the antique turnstiles and more than twenty restored subway cars and buses dating back to the turn of the nineteenth century. At the time of writing, the museum is closed for renovation and is due to reopen in 2003.
