Tour the Abandoned City Hall Subway Station
This activity is not 100% legal, so please don’t tell anyone I told you to do this!
Do as the locals do and hop on the subway, duck down and ride past the final station at City Hall. This works because the train actually turns around and passes the Old City Hall Station (last stop before the Brooklyn Bridge) on its way back Uptown.
If you’re feeling as though breaking the law is not for you, then you may purchase some expensive tickets at the Transit Museum.

A beautiful French bookstore right across from the MET.
