How far is Penn Station from 40th Street?

Answer 1

Not very far. Penn Station is between 7th and 8th Avenues, from approximately West 33rd to West 34th, and Grand Central Station is at 42nd and Lexington. Approximately 17 to 20 street blocks (north/south) blocks equals a mile, and approximately 3 to 4 avenue blocks (east/west blocks) equals a mile. So the distance between the two stations is about one and a half miles.

Answer 2

Less than 2 miles as the crow flies (meaning, if you were to draw an imaginary straight line between them on the map).

Brooklyn is about one and two-thirds to one and three-quarter miles almost straight east (but slightly, slightly southeast) from the northeast corner of Penn Station (34th Street and 7th Avenue).

In road miles, the distance is only slightly longer; two to two and a quarter miles. It's almost a straight shot across town: you'd drive two blocks north, from West 34th to West 36th, then make a left and drive east across Manhattan to the East River, through the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, which brings you out in Queens, on the north side of Maspeth Creek. Brooklyn is on the south side, a mere moment's drive away.

Answer 3

This question is too vague to be answered. Brooklyn is almost 100 square miles in area, and 8 of New York City's 9 subway lines (not including the shuttles) run through it. The directions will be completely different, depending on where in Brooklyn you are going.

Please ask your question again, this time specifying an address in Brooklyn, or at the very least, a neighborhood.

Answer 4

There is roughly one mile, or a little less, between Penn Station and the Rockefeller Center Station.

One mile is equal to 17 to 20 street blocks, or 5 to 10 avenue blocks (the length of the avenue blocks varies considerably, depending on the neighborhood you're in).

Penn Station is at 34th Street, between 8th and 7th Avenues, and the Rockefeller Center Station is on 47th through 50th Street, at 6th Avenue. So it's 13 to 16 street blocks and 1 avenue block from 34th Street-Penn Station to the 47th-50th Street-Rockefeller Center Station.

Answer 5

Penn Station is at 33rd to 34th Streets, between 8th and 7th Avenues. So it's 7 to 8 blocks from 40th Street. That's a little over 1/3 of a mile (0.53 km).
