A Bar on the Subway?!?!? π³ This great photo from 1962 shows the NYC Transit Authority "Bar Car" that traveled between Times Square and South Ferry. Adorned with fresh flowers, pastel lighting, and draperies, a bartender served straphangers champagne and bagels between 42nd Street and South Ferry. Today an increased presence of NYPD officers enforcing "quality of life issues" will be quick to a ticket for subway riders enjoying a glass of champagne, but in 1962 the "Dream Car" was part of a Clean Subways campaign sponsored by the New York City Transit Authority.
