BRING BACK THE “BAR CAR” ON THE SUBWAY!

As part of a campaign to clean up the subway system in the 1960s the Metropolitan Transit Authority introduced a “bar car” in 1962 on a subway running between Times Square and South Ferry. The bar car gave straphangers a taste of first class luxury with plush carpeting, draped curtains and pastel lighting.

As riders made their way downtown or back up to Times Square they could enjoy a glass of champagne and a pretzel or bagel. Though the bar car was only a one time publicity stunt, we think that brining it back would add a touch of class to our commutes. Read more about the “bar car” here.

I’m playing the Property Brothers game and they had a challenge to turn an old train car into a bar. I’m obsessed with how it came out! 😍
