Where Do You Find Ceiling Fans In A Subway Train? New York, Of Course!

C'mon, ride the train! Okay so before we quote the Quad City DJs' song any further, let us just let you in on something very coo, very unique that's happening on Sunday in December in New York City. It's called the "Nostalgia Shoppers' Special" and it's a vintage New York subway train that's plying the underground just as it used to decades ago.

This year, you'll find the vintage subway train on the V line between Long Island City and lower Manhattan every December Sunday from 10am to 5pm. Take it from Rockefeller Center to Macy's Herald Square, or continue down to Greenwich Village at the West 4th Street stop, or hop off when it terminates on the Lower East Side. We tried to catch it last year, but didn't put enough effort into it (aka we got on whatever train arrived first and didn't wait for it). But if you do wait, you'll enjoy padded seats, incandescent lightbulbs, ceiling fans, and all the vintage design touches you can handle.
