E 125 St/Lexington Ave

A stretch of East Harlem sidewalk where Lexington hums past 125th. The city’s buses funnel up and down the avenue, each one tagged with a final stop that matches this corner. Ridership here ebbs and spikes with school let-outs and shift changes, yet the curb never really clears.

This is the E 125 St/Lexington Ave Bus stop—one of the dozen or so points where Manhattan’s grid loosens into the brisk cross-town runs. The address itself sits at New York, NY 10035, the only thing you need to key into your phone when you’re dancing between the 6 train and a crosstown 1-2-3. Dial 212-442-1622 if your MetroCard screen blinks low balance.

Find the map here, tap directions, and let the blue line guide you straight to the curb. No bench, no shelter, just the pulse of engines and the occasional horn.
