See The Subway Muck NYC Commuters Traversed This Week

NEW YORK, NY — The MTA might be trying to spruce up some subway stations, but New Yorkers know the vast majority are still disgusting. We asked you to show us the muck you walk through every day — and many of you delivered.

Patch has new photos of dirty stairs, broken tiles, roughed-up walls and stalactites of grime protruding from ceilings. We've added them to our map of disgusting stations throughout the city.

Several of this week's shots come from Carroll Gardens photographer Brian Eden, who's been documenting nasty subway sights since last fall for his "Crud" photo series. Eden said he tries to find the "strange beauty" in the everyday grossness of the stations.

Here's a look at some of the filth Patch has seen this week.

This stairway at 96th Street could use a bath.

Tiles are crumbling at the Seventh Avenue station in Brooklyn.

You probably don't want to know what made these formations at 14th Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan.

These splatters near Brooklyn Borough Hall are a mystery.

The Bowery J/Z station has seen better days.

There are plenty of stations we haven't seen yet, and we need your help. When you see something gross on your commute, take a photo and email it to patchnyc@patch.com, using the subject line "Disgusting Subways," or send us a message on Facebook.
