Perhaps 14th or 23rd?

To answer your question---this station is a fictional station portrayed in the
1984 movie BEAT STREET it is most likely is the COURT STREET
station from the TRANSIT MUSEUM which is an non revenue station that occasionally
is used by the movie industry for scenes shot in the subway---hope that helped

Looking at the pic the el turns to the east & the street continues north

I hope this link isn't from this website (wirednewyork) I forgot where I took this from, nonetheless, it's very interesting. Various well known album covers and where they were shot. There are a few outside of NYC as well.
