What subway do I take from Grand Central Station to West 4th Street Station?

Answer 1

Well, it depends on whether you're starting out from East 31st Street or West 31st Street. But either way, if you don't have luggage to carry, you should seriously consider just walking, instead of taking the subway, especially if you're starting out from the East Side. The walk is only 0.5 to 1.5 miles. From East 31st, it's about half a mile to a mile, and from West 31st, it's about a mile to a mile and a half.

Grand Central Station is at East 42nd between Park and Lexington. In New York City, 17 to 20 street blocks (north/south blocks) equals a mile, and 5 to 10 avenue blocks (east/west blocks) equals a mile. So, from 31st to 42nd Street is half a mile. The distance east or west could be anywhere from 0 to 1 miles.

If you really want to take the subway, here are your options:

1) West Side: take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line) or the Uptown A-C-E (the blue line), one stop, from Penn Station (34th Street & 7th Avenue on the 1-2-3, and 34th and 8th Avenue on the A-C-E) to 42nd Street (Times Square). 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 (East 42nd).

2) Center of Manhattan: take the Uptown N or Q (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line), one stop, from Herald Square (34th & Broadway) to Times Square. Again, transfer at Times Square for the S shuttle train east across 42nd to Grand Central.

3) East Side: take the Uptown 4-5-6 (the dark green line) one stop, from 33rd Street to Grand Central.

Answer 2

You can take the Uptown 6 train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line) two stops, from 28th Street (at Park Avenue South) to 42nd Street-Grand Central Station.

But if I were you, I wouldn't waste money on the subway. It's a very short walk. Only 3/4 of a mile. Just walk up Park Avenue South from 28th Street to 42nd Street. Grand Central is on 42nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues (Park Avenue South becomes regular Park Avenue at 42nd Street).

Answer 3

The address 16 West 22nd Street is between 6th and 5th Avenues. Take the Downtown 6 train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line) from 42nd Street-Grand Central Station to 23rd Street (at Park Avenue South).

Then walk one block south to 22nd Street, and two and a half blocks west (Park Avenue South ---> Broadway ---> 5th Avenue ---> 6th Avenue) to 16 West 22nd.

Answer 4

There is no single subway that goes to both destinations. The best way to go would be to take the 6 train to Bleeker Street and transfer to the B/D/F/M for one station to West 4th Street.

Answer 5

Take the Uptown 6 train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line) from 42nd Street-Grand Central Station to 68th Street-Hunter College (at Lexington Avenue).
