Meh, there's a fair number of non transplants who don't know about Marble Hill or that Roosevelt Island is part of Manhattan borough. They went for Manhattan Island and they got it. Still pretty fun. Better than maybe someone just watching TV or playing some Xbox all day.
If you're gonna do something, do it right.....i'm just saying.

I for one am so grateful that these young heroes took it upon themselves to embark on this perilous journey. Myself, and the city of new york will forever be in their debt.
Good night and god bless, young soldiers...
Bwahahaha

I am slowly assembling pictures of the maps in various stations that actually show the station layouts. They come in handy to determine which end of the train to be on for which exits or where trains cross for transfers.
Just added Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum on Friday.
But the operative word is S L O W L Y because I often get to a new map but do not have my camera.
You would think the MTA would post them but if they do, I have never found the site.
Not sure if you have a smartphone, but if you do there are several apps which include this information. Otherwise you may be able to search for the app maps online?
The screen capture below is from NYCMate, which shows the footprint of a station, complete with staircases overlaid on a street and transit line map. As long as you've downloaded these maps via the internet at some point before going underground you can access them there, so quite handy.
Edited to add - the resolution isn't great because I had to shrink the image to attach, but the stairs are actually there -they're the little cross-hatch looking things next to the stations!

Reason: Comment re: stairs
meh , We Subway buffs have been doing this for decades....now hipsters want in....ick We have all the stations photographed and video , including the abandoned lines. Same applies to Trolleys , and Regional Rail and Intercity travel. Everything is documented from the signage to the tiles to the trains and the latest is the countdown clocks....the community has also collected the subway announcements....
Even little changes like an announcement redo are documented....
On the bright side they are leaving the city on the downside more and more people keep coming and doing attention seeking things.
