Neptune Avenue is station on the BMT Culver Line of the New York City Subway. Located in Brooklyn at the intersection of Neptune Avenue and West 6th Street, it is served by the F train at all times.
The station was renovated during the reconstruction of Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue station. The mezzanine has two street staircases, both of which require a short walk to reach Neptune Ave as the first street. There are two staircases to the platform. The look of the staircases with doors and glass on top was retained after the renovation to give the station its identity.
The 2004 artwork here is called Looking Up by Michael Krondl.
The original name of this station was Van Sicklen, named for the family that owned the property through which the original surface right-of-way passed, and that operated the Van Sicklen Hotel at the location.
