- connecting Tren Urbano from Puerto Rico to South Ferry via submarine (!)
Orange Line
Also, the Orange Line ends in Forest Hills, Queens.

Speaking of content companies
Speaking of content companies, that's the old headquarters of the New York Sun (of Yes, Virginia... fame in the background (besides realizing the location, the distinctive clock/sign is visible if you blow up the photo - look next to the window above the PICARD ad in the background).
