Best Answer

It's very close, only about two thirds of a mile. Penn Station is at 34th Street between 8th and 7th Avenues, and 240 Madison Avenue is between 37th and 38th Streets. That's three avenue blocks east (technically four avenue blocks, since Broadway cuts between 6th and 5th Avenues, but the distance is the same as three avenue blocks), and three and a half street blocks north.

In New York City, 17 to 20 street blocks equal a mile, and 5 to 10 avenue blocks equal a mile (depending on the neighborhood). In this case it's more like 6 or 7 avenue blocks to a mile, so the total distance is roughly two thirds of a mile.

What train do you take from Penn Station to 4seventh Street and seventh Avenue?

Since the eastern entrance to Penn Station is located on 7th Avenue, the distance is zero. However, the answer is deceiving because Penn Station is massive. It spans between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue (the equivalent of 4 city streets), from east to west, and between 31st Street and 33rd Street from south to north. So, yes, it is true that the entrance to Penn Station is situated directly on 7th Ave. But, once inside, one might find himself walking several city blocks to get to the actual departure platform for his train or vice versa, from his train to 7th Ave.

What are you talking about? If you mean the 6th Avenue trains, they stop one long block away at 34 St and 6th Avenue. If you mean the #6 train, it stops about 7/8 of a mile away at 33 St. and Park Avenue South. Neither stops right in Penn Station. Only the 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue trains do that.
