       | has a classic look!"

       | rewards exploration.

           | subway stations have unique designs and art of all sorts,
           | too. Or artifacts discovered during the digging, in one case
           | later incorporated into the design of the station itself.
           | Finally, you can easily spend half a day just trying out
           | pastries.
