    You can grab a coffee before boarding and beer on your way home. It feels so suburban that it's hard to believe you're in Queens.

    Nice station with a touch of old style, convienient location by Kew Gardens downtown and accessibilty is very easy. BTW, purchase tickets at TVM's to avoid a $5.00 surcharge on board the train...

    Be sure to let anyone you're picking up here that only the first 4 cars let out.

    When you use the train on a sat or sun buy a city ticket. It's cheaper.

    Eastbound train in morning rush hour is just too comfortable and not crowded like the Westbound.

    Only the first four cars of the train will platform at this station. Walk back inside the train for more seating.
