2 (New York City Subway Service)
The 2 Seventh Avenue Express is a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway. It is colored tomato red on station signs, route signs, and the official subway map, since it uses the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line through most of Manhattan.
The 2 service operates between 241st Street in Wakefield, the Bronx and Flatbush Avenue – Brooklyn College in Midwood, Brooklyn at all times, making all stops in the Bronx and Brooklyn. Daytime 2 service operates express in Manhattan; late night service operates local.
The service operates via White Plains Road in the Bronx, Lenox Avenue and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan and Eastern Parkway and Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn.
Limited rush hour service also runs between 241st Street in the Bronx and New Lots Avenue in New Lots, Brooklyn instead of Flatbush Avenue due to space limitations along the Nostrand Avenue segment south of Franklin Avenue.

“Not even the most powerful organs of the press, including Time, Newsweek, and The New York Times, can discover a new artist or certify his work and make it stick.... They can only bring you the scores.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
“half-way up the hill, I see the Past
Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—
A city in the twilight dim and vast,
With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
And hear above me on the autumnal blast
The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“In New York—whose subway trains in particular have been “tattooed” with a brio and an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame—not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements.... Even the most chronically dispossessed appear prepared to endorse the legitimacy of the “haves.””
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. “Cleaning and Cleansing,” Myths and Memories (1986)
