The official MTA of New York City site has all the formal details of the NYC subway system, like fares, schedules, and a city-wide map. But the unofficial NYC subway site has much, much more. There are a wealth of maps, including historical maps and "what if?" maps. The FAQ section covers everything from abandoned tracks & stations, including the beautiful City Hall station. (Another site also tells you how to try to see some of the closed stations.) There's information about identifying cars, what it's like to be a transit worker, and even a subway glossary.

Advice from clowns on how to deal with kids who are deathly afraid of them.
