Myrtle Avenue (announced as Myrtle Avenue – Broadway on the R160s to distinguish it from the nearby Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues station) is a two-level express station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Myrtle Avenue and Broadway in Brooklyn, it is served by J and M trains at all times and the Z during rush hours in peak direction.
All service is on the lower level of the station. The upper level, previously serving the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line to Downtown Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan, carries no tracks and is now abandoned.

Famous quotes containing the words myrtle, avenue and/or jamaica:
“But Thou that know’st Love above Intrest or lust
Strew the Myrtle and Rose on this once belov’d Dust
And shed one pious tear upon Jinny the Just
Tread soft on her Grave, and do right to her honor
Let neither rude hand no ill Tongue light upon her
Do all the smal Favors that now can be done her”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
“Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
“So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
