Probably the creepiest subway station entrance in the city. A 3-block-long tunnel which burrows into the side of one of Washington Heights' characteristic huge granite hills. The other entrance is an elevator from another street 180 feet above.
From here, it's a 20-40 minute shot downtown to Times Square.

Louie's Chophouse Will Not Reopen In Oak Lawn After Shutdown
A fixture on Oak Lawn's restaurant scene for 24 years, Louie's Chophouse will consolidate with Mokena location.

OAK LAWN, IL — Oak Lawn's most venerable steak house is relocating to Mokena. Louie's Chop House has been a fixture in the village since 1996. The owners of Louie's announced that it would not be reopening in Oak Lawn after the coronavirus shutdown.
"My family and I first want to thank the city of Oak Lawn for giving us the opportunity 24 years ago to be able to fulfill a dream that we thought was never possible! Thank you for letting us be such a big part of your community for so many years," Stella Vardikos Tzotzos wrote on the restaurant's Facebook page. "We have been blessed with great and loyal customers that we consider many of them as family.
Without their support and loyalty we wouldn't be able to be where we are today. We are going to miss all of you since many of you we have been such a big part of your lives celebrating holidays, retirements, milestones and special occasions."
Voted the Southland's Best Steakhouse for five years running, Louis Vardikos began bartending in 1976 at Petey's Bungalow on 95th Street, a position he held for 20 years, when he realized his dream of owning his own restaurant. In 1996, Vardikos opened Louie's Chop House, 4642 W 103rd St., Oak Lawn. In addition to his daughter Stella, Louie ran the restaurant with his wife, Kathy, and son, Michael Vardikos.
Louie's Chop House built a loyal legion of regulars who became like family to the Vardikoses.
Vardikos will consolidate the chop house with his other restaurant in Mokena, Jamo's Live at 10160 191st St., a live entertainment venue and sports bar serving American fare.
"It is the best financial decision for us," Stella said in an email. "With everything that is going on and [social distancing] restrictions, we will have a lot of restaurant to fill, and still pay the same amount of rent. It didn't make sense."
The Vardikos family thanked their dishwashers, cooks, busboys, servers and bartenders. "We wouldn't be Louie's without you." Louie's will be honoring gift cards at Mokena location "serving the same quality food with some familiar faces so that part won't change."
Louie's will be honoring gift cards at the Mokena location, which is currently undergoing renovations.
"No one ever likes to say goodbye, so we won't, we will just see you in a different location in a couple of months."

The first collaboration between NYCDOT and the Groundswell Community Mural Project resulted in a collectively designed, lively installation that transformed the entrance to a 900-foot-long subway underpass. A vivid tableau of the history and diversity found in Washington Heights is depicted as the number 1 train “roller coaster” zoomed around the cloisters, past city workers, and over the George Washington Bridge.
Imagery and the name for the mural were taken from a poem by the same title by one of the artists on the project team, Pury Soliver. Other partners included the YM + YWHA of Washington Heights and the Inwood community.

As I was heading way uptown to go to the Cloisters, I came across this pretty long and slightly creepy tunnel once I got to the 191st station..
Couple of cool tidbits about this station and the tunnel:
-At approximately 180 feet (55 m) below street level, this is the deepest station in the New York City Subway system. It has two tracks and two side platforms. This section of the line opened on March 12, 1906, but the elevators and other work had not yet been completed, and 191st Street did not open to the public for another five years. The depth of the station suited it for 1954 experiments by Victor Hess into the nature of cosmic rays.[2]
-There are two exits from this station via the same fare control. The main entrance at 191st Street and St. Nicholas Avenue is at the summit of a hill and accessible only by a set of four elevators. The other exit, at 190th Street and Broadway, is at a hillside and accessed via a three-block long passageway which passes under Wadsworth Terrace and Avenue, and is maintained by the Parks Department rather than the MTA.
