Certain subway stations in the city have great acoustics. Most players seek out stations with only one line running through them, they tend to avoid stations with frequent announcements, and they favor ones with low ceilings to amplify their performances over the crowds.
Also, most stations are built with steel, concrete, tile, and stone reflecting the sound waves naturally so no microphones or large amplifiers are really needed. The sounds just naturally reverberate through the stations and tunnels and the further away you are the better they sound.
