Raise a glass to the company that helped carry New York into the underground age. Founded in 1902, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company opened the city’s first subway on October 27, 1904, connecting City Hall with 145th Street. Its story also reaches Manhattan’s elevated railways and the 1913 Dual Contracts, a major chapter in subway expansion. This pint glass brings that transit history to everyday gatherings and makes a thoughtful choice for subway enthusiasts and New York City collectors.
Founded on May 6, 1902, by August Belmont Jr., the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) was created to operate New York City’s first underground rapid transit system. Belmont and John B. McDonald’s Rapid Transit Construction Company had won the right to build the railway in 1900. The first IRT subway opened on October 27, 1904, running from City Hall to 145th Street at Broadway. In 1903, before that subway began service, the IRT leased the Manhattan Railway Company, operator of four elevated railways in Manhattan and an extension into the Bronx. In 1913, the IRT signed the Dual Contracts with Brooklyn Rapid Transit to expand the subway; the agreement set the fare at five cents for forty-nine years. New York City acquired the IRT’s properties and operations on June 12, 1940, bringing its lines into the unified subway system. The former IRT routes are now the numbered services of the A Division, also known as the IRT Division. Later changes included transfer of the Flushing Line to IRT responsibility in 1949 and extensions to Harlem–148th Street in 1968 and 34th Street–Hudson Yards in 2015.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
