3 Av-149 St

A subway entrance rises past a corner bodega’s awning. 3 Av-149 St, a Subway station in the Bronx, anchors daily flow east of Broadway. Trains rumble beneath 149th Street toward Manhattan or farther north into the West Bronx. It’s the kind of stop commuters use to reach the courthouse blocks away or continue to Mott Haven. Just south of East 156th Street, the entrance sits at the crosshairs of Third Avenue and East 149th. Bronx, NY 10455 unfolds in every direction—pawn shops, laundromats, and tree-shaded side streets sharing the same block. The station hums with late-night buses and early-morning straphangers heading to Hunts Point or Fordham Road. You can catch the D train downtown, the 4 local uptown, or switch to the 2/5 express lines nearby. Heading to 3 Av-149 St after a visit to the adjacent Michelangelo playground? Grab tokens by the turnstiles and board any southbound D platform. Fare machines accept coins, bills, and contactless cards; no tickets required if swiping a MetroCard. Riders often check schedules printed on peeling vinyl or glance at flickering digital boards before the next departure. Need the map? Slide north toward the staircase, or dial 718-328-2390 to confirm train status. For on-the-go directions, pull up a satellite view before leaving—just follow the familiar blue line icon. Crowds pulse in from both avenues, and the platform appears exactly where the sidewalk dips underground.
