Answer 1

In road distance, it's about 2.86 miles (4.60 kilometers), mostly north, and a few blocks east. The Carlyle hotel is located at 35 East 76th Street, on or near the corner of Madison Avenue, and Penn Station is at 33rd to 34th Street between 8th and 7th Avenues.

In New York City, 17 to 20 street blocks equal a mile, and 5 to 10 avenue blocks equal a mile. The length of the avenue blocks varies a lot, depending on the neighborhood. Generally speaking, the avenue blocks on the East Side (east of 5th Avenue) are shorter, and the avenue blocks on the West Side (west of 5th Avenue) are longer.
