I also like 57th/6th. Although it is very plain, it is representative of its era, a time when things were built big, spacious, bright, and plain. Between WW2 and the early 1980s (approx.), intricate designs just weren't fashionable, in most construction.

If 57/6 or, for that matter, Grand Street, ever need major work, I'd hope the original look would be maintained.

On that note, while I think the Broad Street and 8th Ave BMT stations look great now, they were not "restored" in the 90s, they were made-over. The TA, IMO, should have restored the IND look with which both stations were built. It was a good look, nothign wrong with it. I'm not too crazy with the big numbers installed at 42nd and 59th, either.
