Use A Twin Peaks MetroCard To Go Someplace 'Wonderful And Strange'

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — Grab your clairvoyant log, a damn fine cup of coffee and take a journey through the bizarre (by which we mean the subway) — Twin Peaks MetroCards are now a thing.

The MTA will be selling Twin Peaks-themed MetroCards at select stations one week before the long-awaited series returns to television on Sunday, the agency announced on Twitter.

“It is happening again,” your Twin Peaks MetroCard will tell you, and it will invite you to “a place both wonderful and strange” that we can only assume is not at the end of the L line.

The cards will be sold in Williamsburg at the Bedford Avenue and Metropolitan Avenue stations on the L line, in Carroll Gardens at the Bergen Street station on the F and G lines, and in Manhattan at the West 4th Street, Astor Place, 14th Street/Eighth Avenue, Broadway Lafayette, Second Avenue, 50th Street/Broadway and 50th Street/Eighth Avenue stations, according to the MTA.

The third season of David Lynch’s television series will premiere Sunday night on Showtime at 9 p.m. There will be a slew of events to celebrate its return, such as an Twin Peaks party Tuesday night at Brooklyn Bazaar in Greenpoint and a film festival featuring Twin Peak actors at BAM.

Twin Peaks fans took to Twitter to celebrate the MetroCard and gibe the MTA.
