What subway do you take from Grand Central Station to 16 West 23rd Street?

Answer 1

It depends on where in Queens you're coming from. But not too many subway lines run through Queens, so there aren't that many options. See the Related Link below for a complete New York City subway map.

Option 1: The F or M trains

Take the Downtown (Manhattan-bound) F or Mtrains (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line) to 34th Street-Herald Square (at Broadway).

Option 2: The E train

Take the Downtown (Manhattan-bound) E train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) to 34th Street-Penn Station (at 8th Avenue).

Option 3: The R train

Take the Downtown (Manhattan-bound) R train (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line) to 34th Street-Herald Square (at Broadway).

Option 4: The 7 train

You can take the 7 train (the purple line) to 74th Street-Broadway. You can transfer from the 74th Street-Broadway Station on the 7 train to the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue Station on the E, F, M and Rtrains. Then you can take the E to 34th Street-Penn Station (at 8th Avenue), or the F, M or R trains to 34th Street-Herald Square (at Broadway).

Or, you can take the 7 train to 42nd Street-Grand Central Station, and transfer there to the Downtown 6 train, one stop to 33rd Street (at Park Avenue South).

Or, take the 7 to 42nd Street-5th Avenue. This station is connected to the 42nd Street-Bryant Park Station on the B-D-F-M (the orange line). Take the Downtown B-D-F-Mone stop to 34th Street-Herald Square (at Broadway).

Or, take the 7 to 42nd Street-Times Square, and transfer there to the Downtown 1-2-3 one stop to 34th Street-Penn Station (at 7th Avenue).

Answer 2

Take the S shuttle train (color grey), or the 7train (the purple line) if the shuttle isn't running, from 42nd Street-Grand Central to 42nd Street-Times Square.

Transfer at 42nd Street-Times Square to the Downtown 1-2-3 (the red line), 1 stop, to 34th Street-Penn Station (at West 34th Street and 7th Avenue).

Answer 3

Take the Downtown 6 local train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line), 3 stops, from 42nd Street-Grand Central to 23rd Street (at Park Avenue South).

You'll exit on the west side of Park Avenue South. Walk 2 1/4 avenue blocks west (3 1/4 blocks if you count Broadway, which cuts between avenue blocks) on 23rd Street to 16 West 23rd, between 5th and 6th Avenues.
