Millions ride New York's subway every day. Few realize it built the city around them.

From Grand Central Terminal to Times Square, Broadway, the Diamond District, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and St. Patrick's Cathedral, you'll uncover how moving millions of people every day created billions of dollars in economic activity—and shaped the skyline we know today. You'll never look at New York's subway the same way again.

An immigrant trade built on nothing but trust turned, deals on a handshake, one block into the diamond capital of America. Walk it, and watch deals worth millions happen in plain sight.
A censored mural and a Rockefeller's refusal to back down shaped one of the most famous public spaces in the world. Stand in the plaza that fight built, where the world famous ice skating rink and tree are the center of the city for 6 weeks every year.
Faith and commerce have stared each other down on this exact corner for almost a century. Stand between them and decide which one's winning.
