'''East Broadway''' is a [[metro station|station]] on the [[IND Sixth Avenue Line]] of the [[New York City Subway]]. There is an abandoned tower at the north end of the island platform. The station has two mezzanines, four open staircases, three closed staircases, and one escalator. The full-time side of the station at Madison Street has one street staircase, while the part-time side at [[Canal Street (Manhattan)|Canal]] and Rutgers Streets has three. A passageway outside of fare control connects the two booth areas. A sealed staircase in the middle of the passageway leads to Henry Street. Inside fare control, the mezzanine extends to an area now used as space for maintenance. Some of the staircases lead to an intermediate level and show more evidence of this. This level was supposed to be a station of the unbuilt [[IND Worth Street Line]]. The ramp that descends from the full-time side would have led to the same intermediate level, had a station facility in between, and was never constructed.
The 1992 artwork at this station is called ''Displacing Details'' by Noel Copeland, with assistance by students from the [[Henry Street Settlement]].
