Impromptu Dance Party Breaks Out In Subway Station (Video)

It's not all doom and gloom in the New York City subway sytem, (though mostly, it is.) Sometimes, folks actually enjoy themselves down there! For example, look at the video below. It features a lively and spontaneous dance party that took place on an L train platform on a recent Saturday night. And it's not just "h*psters!" All kinds of people, old and young, are absolutely jamming out to the funky sounds of a live band.

UPDATED: Pull String For?

Seen this morning at the 86th Street and Lexington stop on the 6 line. What is the string for? Pull string for emergency? Pull string for to get an MTA employee on the line? NYC The Blog will follow this up, and updates will be added with any new information.

UPDATE: After NYC The Blog took to Twitter to query the MTA about the string, they responded almost immediately, double checking first before explaining the string, is "being used to pull wire through the conduit to this Customer Assistance Intercom installation." Soon, that box will indeed get you through to someone, though via phone instead of string.
