Best Answer

Broadway runs diagonally through virtually the entire length of Manhattan (over 13 miles), so it's impossible to estimate travel time without knowing the specific cross street (or at least, the neighborhood) you're going to.

Grand Central is on 42nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues. At this point in its path, Broadway is 1 very tiny block east of 7th Avenue. This area -- the tiny block between 7th Avenue and Broadway at 42nd Street -- is Times Square.

So Broadway is 4 blocks west of Grand Central: Park Avenue ---> Madison Avenue ---> 5th Avenue ---> 6th Avenue ---> Broadway.

Madison Avenue is 1 to 2 blocks west of Grand Central. Grand Central is on 42nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues. Madison Avenue is the next avenue west after Park.

North of 14th Street, the avenue blocks on the East Side go, west to east: 5th ---> Madison ---> Park ---> Lexington ---> 3rd ---> 2nd ---> 1st ---> York ---> East End. Though York and East End only exist from 59th Street to 92nd and 90th Streets, respectively.
