Photo Coverage: MISS SUBWAYS Come to Friars Club
By: Stephen Sorokoff Jun. 27, 2013
From 1941 to 1976 New York City subway and bus riders were treated to more than 9,000 posters of 200 attractive young women all dubbed "Miss Subways" for the month. The women on the posters were the faces of New York. They were wartime nurses in the 1940s, college girls studying to become teachers in the 1950s, and secretaries who dreamed of singing careers in the 1960s. These amazing girls shared their stories and the hopes and dreams of their generation at the legendary Friars Club. Friar Stewie Stone created some extremely funny moments as he interviewed Miss Subways, and "Who Loves You" performed some Four Seasons tunes.
