Subway's best-selling sandwich,[48] the B.M.T. (short for "Biggest, Meatiest, Tastiest"), contains pepperoni, salami, and ham. It was introduced as a reference to Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit, connecting to the "subway" name.[49]
The subway interior was defaced with a secret handwriting that covered the walls, windows, and maps. I began to imagine that these signatures surrounding the passengers were ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Every now and then, when I was looking at one of these cryptic messages, someone would come and sit in front of it, and I would feel as if the message had been decoded. I started to draw a connection between the Broadway islands, the neighborhood cafeteria, and the pious scribe on the Lower East Side.
The Tremont Street subway was the first subway system built in the United States. Construction on the subway began in 1895 in downtown Boston. The original five-mile route ran between an entrance at the Public Garden and an entrance near Haymarket Square. Train cars could enter and exit either end of the subway to continue on to destinations above ground.
