Completion of the Second Avenue subway’s extension in 2017 achieved an almost century-long effort to expand rapid transit service to Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Dan McNichol’s new book Second Avenue Subway: Building New York City’s Most Famous Thing Never Built, explores the project’s complexity and the monumental hurdles it faced.
In this book launch celebration, Dan McNichol will present the dynamic story of the Second Avenue subway development. He will be joined by his co-author, former MTA Capital Executive Vice President, Bill Goodrich, and his photography editor, former MTA photographer, Patrick Cashin.
