A note
editThe MTA website uses the name Astor Place as the name of the station. [1] Shouldn't that be reflected here? CoolGuy 20:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

11th St Entrance?
editAt 11th St and 4th Ave, there is a long section of street grates stretching for about a third of a block. If you look down through it, you can see many abandoned staircases and a concourse level. Surprisingly enough, at the northernmost section of the Northbound-6 platform, there are ventilation grates on the walls and conversations can occasionally be heard (presumably from the pool place at 11th & 6th. It seems to me that there may have been a secondary entrance which was closed when the building of the pool place was built. Anyone know if this is true?
And why was the underpass closed?
