In Moscow, the subway stations are gorgeous.  Most of them are unique pieces of architecture and art, clean, and well maintained.  There are coffee table books of high resolution pictures that are worth seeing; here is an online sample of a handful of stations [1].  Contrast this to nyc, where the subway is both filthy and looks like a place that, if I didn&#x27;t know it was a subway station, I would not be willing to enter unless in a large group.<p>If you&#x27;re there, it&#x27;s well worth spending an afternoon visiting the stations.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amusingplanet.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;05&#x2F;art-and-decor-of-moscow-metro-stations.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amusingplanet.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;05&#x2F;art-and-decor-of-moscow...</a>
