Nice place to visit with friends and family
“David Bowie Is” exhibition currently going on here!
Broadway-Laffeyete Streets is situated in the Lower East Side and is used often during rush hour. B trains operate here during Weekdays, service is suspended during Weekends, Weeknights, and Holidays. D trains operate here at all times except when there are works being done causing these trains to run on the A and F lines. M trains only operate here during weekdays. F trains operate here at all times, except when there are works being done, trains will either run on the Q and D lines or the C line and then its regular route.Ever since the station was given the upgrade, it has made this place much more reliable and nicer to use, but like every station in the New York City Subway, it has a rat problem. The aroma of this place is unpredictable, sometimes it will smell plasent other times it will not. The station also has a connection to the Bleeker Street station for the 6 train, and the 4 during late nights and the 5 during disruptions.
I am not an engineer, but you want to tell me that nobody came up with a solution to that smell of the underground stations? It is there and it is everywhere. in the station I wish they would so something about it, in France for example you do not smell it. So I am guessing there is a solution, might be just too expensive.
A really busy station, but easy to get around. There are sometimes homeless people who smell like feces, but its not a big problem. There are even daily performances in the mezzanine.
Great stop. The artistic light ceiling gives it a modern and fresh look.Its very spacious. Though the escalator between the 6 and the BDFM lines can be tough.
NYPD ONSITE.THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.Broadway-Laffayet & East Houston Street Train Station is also connected to the Bleecker Street Station. Its fair to say that the 6 train is always on time at this station.Train lines: Six Avenue lines - B, D, F, and Lexington Avenue lines local #6.Transit Connections: M1, M21, M55, SIM7, SIM33.(source:Metropolitan Transit Authority)
“Even the 6 train is here”
It has avery good location because its in theheart of SoHoand you can transfer to several different subway lines. Clean and well lit at night. 💚💛💙
Pretty nice station with a transfer to the 6 train via stairs and elevators. Cross platform interchange between the B/D/F/M lines.
F on Delancey quick 2 stops to Broadway Lafayette for 6 train uptown on good day Max wait 6 minutes with delays most 10 to 15 minutes. Pretty clean station compared too others.

Hot as HELL. Elevator to the street, from the downtown 6 platform, but they are confusing if you dont know your way around this station, and they smell like piss - stronger than most subway elevators, which is quite the distinction!
People writing reviews and complaining about the escalators... Humanity! Where are you going!!! Take the stairs, they are generally empty because all the fat lazy people cram onto the escalators (and do not walk up them) and elevators.This is a NYC subway station, an OPTION meant for you to get on a packed train and move you underground close to your destination.Or you can walk, bike, take a cab.It is not a place for relaxation, room, reading, eating or standing on a stairway looking at your phone.And your $2.50 of a price you pay does not mean you own and operate the system.
Air conditioning does not work at the station. Inside is much warmer than at the street. Where are money of taxpayers going to?
I frequent this station a lot when Im in the lower East Side after a nice walk in it makes my life easier getting home with all the options I have.
Pretty clean and nice service.
Its a great location in the city, but the station is dirty and no climate control. My train wasnt running today because of construction.
Have people who are giving good reviews ever been there during the summer? If not, bring some eggs so we can all boil together.
Pretty warm dont know why the kids and a lady almost sorta fought. They tried to give her scarf back. Sometimes people are staring at me as soon as I wake up
The best train station
Clean and all the wifi work here. Theres the 6, F, and D train. Upstairs is close to the shopping on Broadway.
Have been waiting for M train now for 45 mins. Nothing posted to inform whether its running or not. No announcements either! Terrible service. Nov 19 2016 1:40pm
Its a busy major hub for the Lexington Ave/Park Av line & 6th Avenue lines.
The air is consistently thick and warm with exhaust fumes. The M train never comes.
Its warm here not to bad and its pretty clean some stations are worse but this station is OK
Very good location because its in the heart of SoHo and you can transfer to several different subway lines
Great station, can also get to the 6 train from here.
Cool artwork ceiling at this station
Agreed with Inigo. It is an option, take it or leave it. Compared to the rest of the country, NYC transit is decent work.
Great way to switch from the West to the East side of Manhattan, from the F to the 4, 5 or 6 train.
Escalator breakdown every week***********************************The subway station have Wi-Fi
Too damn hot in there during summers and escalator to uptown 6 is not working half the time.
Broadway-smelly-ette
Not very clean and sometimes a few homeless people around.
You can feel kinda overstimulated here, but its a good place to get the f out of SoHo.
Worst Subway system ever. Always late, overcrowded, .....This is shameful for a city like NY
Finally the MTA built a PROPER connection between the two lines.
It pretty much always smells like pee
Very busy. Needs newer stair case bigger for more people to exit
Nice and big but very hot. Cant breathe. Hazard.
Standard NYC train station. Nothing special, could definitely be a lot more disgusting.
Very nice station, specially with the recent renovations.
Decent stop, but escalators take forever.
Waiting for an M train over 30 minutes, no announcements, poor service
Knowing (derailment kills 178)
One of the stations with the hottest underground air ever.
When Speed Racer pulls up in front of you but you beat him at his own game 😎
Idk about clean but its ok I guess.
Has an outlet for charging and trains to most places in New York!
Its just a beautiful place to be in the Summer ☀️
Service is good. Kept pretty clean.
Very clean and nice view.
Hope you like walking underground

2018-05-23Would have given it 5 stars but the uptown 6 train directions were a little confusing. Would have helped if they had signs in both directions that said the uptown 6 train were only accessable at the end of only one platform.

2018-04-28The David Bowie Is Here exhibition in the station he most used down the street from his house is a wonderful tribute to the man, the magic, the miracles he brought to the world. He was never supposed to go away, we were all going to see him live some day. Ah well, the amazing collection of photos and captions sponsored by Spotify until May 13, 2018 drawing attention to the David Bowie Is Brooklyn Museum exhibit that goes until July 15, 2018 before retiring permanently to showcase his career and personal archive of 60+ original costumes, hand written lyrics, and pictures back into his teenage years. Additionally, there were 250,000 Tickets To Mars, special limited edition David Bowie metro cards people waited in line for hours to get all 5 in the collection.

2019-07-09This station is accessible from Broadway Lafayette Station and the attached Bleecker Station, where you can transfer to the 6 train.

2018-06-19This was ok. Quiet, not very busy when we got on. Hot n sticky but cool on the train. Fairly similar to all the stations in NYC. Short climb down from the street.

Review №9
2019-11-24Mta disgusts me. elevators are always broken and never fixed. poor dude who used a cane and needed the elevator desperately on broadway/lafayette and BOTH elevators on the platform were broken that morning. saw him on my way to school. and there is A LOT of stairs at that station because there’s 2 flights just to get up to the 6 train and more to just get outside...

2019-07-21This stop is busy during the mornings, mainly with people exiting. The peak is 8am.not recommended for those who are still learning the transit system.This also is the main hub for more urban shopping centers rather than international ones, especially during the weekends. Use this station to get in & out of Manhattan or to Brooklyn.
