For an accessible subway station, use 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr on the B, D, F or M. The other nearby option, 50 St on the 1, isn't listed as accessible.

Prohibited items include weapons, mace or pepper spray, laser pointers, fireworks, aerosol cans, signs, banners and flags, noisemaking devices, balls and frisbees, drones, hoverboards and skateboards, outside food and beverage, professional or zoom-lens cameras, tripods and selfie sticks, and audio or video recording devices other than phones; some events may be "device free," restricting phone use too.
