Look like many places have close since I was here last. But that was a while ago. One of the coolest places I found in NYC ten years ago. But now there must be more popular spaces.

I had no idea this place existed until I had to take my train from this station the other day . I was like what’s going on here , am I at the right spot . I was on my way home but ended up staying here for hours .<br><br>Brilliant way to sell some goodies & attract people from their busy crazy life . I tried a slice of cheese pizza from a new pizza place . Then got some sushi for dinner & saw the boba place & had to get a brown boba milk tea .<br><br>Was gonna go home but ended up spending a lot but had a blast by myself just walking around . All the store had some cute stuff , especially the jewelry, the yummy food . People were so kind , friendly .
Wide variety of small food shops of Good quality. Feel like a new yorker
Great place to take a break from the heat or cold and grab a quick bite. There are about a dozen small shops down here - 1/2 food.
This place is just fantastic! Very cool market immediately adjacent to the Columbus Circle subway station connecting A/C/B/D/1 trains. Lots of options, very inviting space.
Not really a place you’d stay for long, being underground makes it feel a bit cramped and not super cosy. That said, it was a nice surprise on our way home and perfect if you just want a quick grab. The guy at Siberia was really nice and even offered us drinks, which was a lovely touch. Also the pretzels smell amazing when you walk through.
My son and I tried the new pizza spot called the Pizza Station. The pizza was great and the owner was so amazingly friendly. Great spot for a quick slice to sit for a bit or to take on the go.
Convenient place to take a large group for a large variety of food choices. The big problem is having a food court style setup with no public restrooms.
Very cool place. Great variety of places to eat and shop underground and convenient to trains. Ate at Hungry Panda. Very good!!
It is a cool place and quite the surprize. I it is a such a cool place with a lot of food places and cool shops as well. I got some food from here and went to lush comestics and went walking around a little bit ans had a great time. I will defently come back some other time tho overall nice enivorment they is something for at least someone here.
This underground market is a lot of potential. My fav spot is the paella burrito spot. The family is very kind and the food is so good. There's a K-pop store, Chinese food spot, perrogie spot, and so on. I wish it was larger, or we had more of these, because this reminds me of Taiwan, which is more common.
Response from the owner
Nice!
Interesting space...an underground food market/marketplace set in an extension of seemingly the subway station. The "Turnstyle" decor adds to the market's appeal.<br><br>A good variety of shops and food options.<br><br>Expect typical NYC prices.
This is like a hidden treasure. Nice selection of restaurants to choose from. Either you want a burger or pizza or ramen or dumplings you get it all there. And if craving for something sweet you got that too. You can find cute little stores too where you find something for yourself or a gift for your loved ones. I love being there.
Really great space with excellent food options!! Even attended a pop up inside another restaurant down there and it was an incredibly fun experience. They decorated the tables and served us a lovely prefix meal. Overall, loved the whole experience and concept of the underground markets!
I checked out this cool place several months back and I thought the diverse food stalls and shops make for an interesting in-betweener for commuters. I thought then that the absence of restrooms could be a deterrent for some would-be customers and a surprise let-down for first-time clients. Alas, still no restrooms to this day. (The mall at Time Warner next door to the rescue!)
