IND Sixth Avenue Station
23rd Street is a local station on the IND Sixth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 23rd Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, it is served by the F train at all times, and by the M train on weekdays. This station and 14th Street are the only two local stations on the Sixth Avenue Line.

There are two tracks and two side platforms. There is no crossover or crossunder, and no mezzanine. The PATH tracks, which were built forty years before the Sixth Avenue Line, are behind the trackway walls where the express tracks would typically be. The Sixth Avenue express tracks are underneath the PATH tracks and were constructed using the "deep-bore" tunneling method in the mid 1960s. Neither the PATH tracks nor the lower level express tracks are visible from the station.

Each side of the station has four street staircases and a direct indoor entrance to the 23rd Street PATH station. Two of the four entrances on each side appear to be part of the original 1911 PATH entrances. The tile band is lime green. The tile band on the track walls appears to be obscured by support beams directly underneath 23rd Street.

The 23rd Street PATH station, opened on June 15, 1908, is located on 23rd Street and Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas), at the north end of Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Before the line was extended to 23rd Street, the northern terminus of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad was a located station at 19th Street (now closed).

This PATH station has side platforms, but passengers must descend one level, walk through an underpass, and go up another stairwell, leading to the New York City Subway mezzanine. The PATH fare control is located in the underpass, which is underneath the IND Sixth Avenue Line tracks.
