What subway do you take from Port Authority to Court Street in Brooklyn?

Answer 1

The Southern District Courthouse of Manhattan is at the Foley Square Courthouse, at 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY, 10007.

First, you need to get into the subway system. The A-C-Eline stops at 42nd Street-Port Authority, and there is an underground tunnel connecting the 42nd Street-Port Authority Station to the 42nd Street-Times Square Station. Follow the tunnel to the Times Square Station.

At the Times Square Station, get on the S shuttle train, east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central Station (East 42nd).

At Grand Central Station, transfer to the Downtown 4-5-6(the dark green line) to the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall Station. It is preferable to take the 4 or 5, instead of the 6, as the 4 and 5 are express trains and will get you there much faster. It's only two stops on the 4 or 5 trains: 42nd Street-Grand Central ---> 14th Street-Union Square ---> Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. The 6is a local train, so there are many stops between 42nd Street-Grand Central and Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall.

You will exit the subway on Park Row. You need to walk Uptown. The traffic on Park Row runs Downtown, so, start walking in the opposite direction of traffic. After a very short walk (like, 250 feet), you will reach a fork in the road, where Park Row splits into Federal Plaza (on the left, west side) and Centre Street (on the east, right side). Take a RIGHT onto Centre Street.

After you've walked about 200 to 300 feet up Centre Street, you will reach the intersection of Centre and Pearl Streets. Make a RIGHT onto Pearl Street, and walk about 500 feet, until you reach 500 Pearl Street.

Answer 2

It depends on whether you're going to the north end of Court Street, or the south end, or somewhere in the middle.

If it's the north end (around Borough Hall, in the Downtown Brooklyn neighborhood) then you can take the Downtown A or C (of the A-C-E, the blue line) from 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal to Jay Street-Metrotech, which is at or near the intersection of Jay Street and Willoughby Street. Walk one block south on Jay Street to Fulton Street, turn right, and then walk 3 blocks west on Fulton Street to Court Street. Fulton Street becomes Joralemon Street at Adams Street, and the next block after Adams Street is Court Street.

If it's the middle or south end of Court Street (the Carroll Gardens neighborhood), then take the Downtown A, C or E from 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal to West 4th Street, in Manhattan. Transfer at West 4th Street to the Downtown F (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line), and take the F to Bergen Street (at Smith Street) or Carroll Street (also at Smith Street). Then walk one block west to Court Street.

The Bergen Street station is about 10 blocks north of the Carroll Street station, and the Jay Street-Metrotech station is 8 or 9 blocks north of the Bergen Street station.
