Cornell Medical Center is on York Avenue, from 60th to 70th Street.

1) Take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line) or the Uptown A-C-E (the blue line) one stop, from 34th Street (Penn Station) to 42nd Street (Times Square). All six of these trains (the 1, the 2, and the 3, and the A, the C and the E) stop at 42nd Street, so it doesn't matter which one you take.

Note that the 42nd Street stop on the A-C-E line is not actually Times Square. The 42nd Street stop on the A-C-Eline is 42nd Street-Port Authority. That is because the A-C-E line runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the Times Square Station, and the 1-2-3, are at 7th Avenue.

However, there is an underground tunnel connecting the 42nd Street Station on the A-C-E line to the Times Square Station, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.

2) At the Times Square Station, transfer to the S shuttle train (color code grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central Station (East 42nd).

3) At Grand Central Station, transfer to the Uptown 4-5-6(the dark green line). Depending on which part of the hospital you're going to (the south end or the north end) you'll want to get off at either 59th Street or 68th Street-Hunter College.

The 4 and 5 are express trains, and will not stop at 68th Street. They will only stop at 59th. The stops on the 4 and 5 go: 42nd Street ---> 59th Street ---> 86th Street ---> 125th Street. The 6 is a local train, and will stop at both 59th AND 68th.

4) You will get off the train at either East 59th or East 68th Street and Lexington Avenue, on the east side of the street (the west side of the street is the Downtown side, and the east side of the street is the Uptown Side).

5) Start walking east to York Avenue. The avenue blocks on the East Side, from west to east, go: Fifth Avenue ---> Madison Avenue ---> Park Avenue ---> Lexington Avenue ---> 3rd Avenue ---> 2nd Avenue ---> 1st Avenue ---> York Avenue.

the city bus depends on your country and city, but usually no more than 2 bucks

In New York City, Brooklyn ... 5 boroughs, the Metrosystem is $2.50 for regular rides. Express buses are $5.50.

If you pay with cash you have to have coins only. (on a bus). You can get a metrocard for 2.50 (single ride) or multi fares - like $20, which is worth $21.50 in rides, at the subway station. Elsewhere you get less rides for same amount, i.e. the drug store.

Nelson Rockefeller

In 1965 John Lindsay defeated Abe Beame and William Buckley when he ran for Mayor of New York City. Then in 1969 he defeated Mario Procaccino and John Marchi to win his second term. There was no election in 1971 for mayor. As far as Nelson Rockefeller is concerned, he never ran for mayor of New York, but he was Governor of New York from 1959 until 1973 and then he became Vice President from 1974 until 1977.

In Manhattan, the only direct transfer from the E to the R, or the R to the E, is at 42nd Street.

There are a number of ways to indirectly transfer from the E to the R. You can take the E to West 4th Street, transfer there to the Uptown B-D-F-M to 34th Street-Herald Square, and then transfer to the R at Herald Square.

Or, you can take the E to Lexington Avenue-53rd Street. Transfer is available between this station and the 51st Street station on the 6 train. Take the Uptown 6 one stop to 59th Street, and transfer there to the R.
