Finally, NYC Will Have 'High-Heel Friendly' Subway Grates
LatestSome positive news for accident-prone New Yorkers who love heels: Those annoying subway sidewalk grates that you either have to walk around, teeter over, or risk slipping into are getting a stiletto-friendly makeover.
As part of the MTA’s East Side Access project, the subway grates around East 55th Street (between Park and Madison Avenues)—as well as some near 63rd Street and 96th Street for the Second Avenue Subway line—will have a narrower opening to accommodate all your difficult heels.
