23rd Street is a local station on the BMT Broadway Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 23rd Street, Broadway, and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, it is served by the N train at all times and the R train at all times except late nights.

This underground station, opened on January 5, 1918, has four tracks and two side platforms. The two center tracks are used by the Q express train at all times. The platforms have their original trim line, which has "23" tablets on it at regular intervals and name tablets, which read "23RD STREET" in Times New Roman font.

Each platform has two same-level fare control areas with the primary ones at the north end. The Manhattan-bound platform has a bank of regular and high exit-only turnstiles, the station's full time token booth, and three street stairs. One goes up to the northeast corner Broadway and 23rd Street (outside Madison Square Park) and the other two to the southeast. The Brooklyn-bound platform has a bank of regular and high exit-only turnstile, a now defunct customer assistance booth, and two street stairs. One is connected to fare control via a passageway and goes up to the northeast corner of 23rd Street and Fifth Avenue outside the Flatiron Building while the other goes up to the southeast corner of Broadway and Fifth Avenue.
