How do you get to the Javits Center from Grand Central Station?

Answer 1

== == There are three ways to do it Taxi is one of the easiest ways if you have a lot of luggage. (app $40)

Bus service that runs from the airport to Grand Central, Penn Station or Port Authority (app. $15) Otherwise take the subway... it's like 3 transfers. Take the Air Train to the A train at Howard Beach. Ride it down to 42nd street. Transfer to the S Shuttle to Grand Central. Not the easiest -- but certainly cheaper than a taxi (app. $7)

There is a map posted in every subway car, and you can ask people on the train!

The length of time is traffic related so give yourself anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes, though it usually takes around 60 minutes.

Answer 2

Take the S shuttle train (color grey) west across 42nd Street, from 42nd Street-Grand Central Station to the 42nd Street-Times Square Station.

Walk through the tunnel that connects the 42nd Street-Times Square Station to the 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal Station.

At the 42nd Street-Port Authority Station, get the Downtown A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) to the Howard Beach Station.

At the Howard Beach Station, get the AirTrain (for $5), which will drop you off inside the JFK terminals.

Answer 3

If you don't want to take a taxi, you can take the subway, which costs only $2.25 to date (November 16, 2010) plus the $5 you will need for the shuttle.

Take the Downtown A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) from 34th Street-Penn Station to the Howard Beach Station. Then transfer to the shuttle (called the AirTrain) which takes you into the JFK terminals.

Answer 4

If you don't want to take a taxi, you can take the subway, which costs only $2.25 to date (October 9, 2009), plus the $5 you will need for the shuttle. The shuttle (called the AirTrain) takes you from inside the JFK terminals to the Howard Beach Station of the A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line). You can take the A train straight into Manhattan.

Answer 5

At Grand Central Station you can catch the S shuttle train across 42nd Street to Times Square. From there, you can take the Downtown A train (on the blue line) out to the Howard Beach Station in Brooklyn. At the Howard Beach Station, you can take a shuttle (called the AirTrain) straight into the JFK terminals.

Answer 6

You can always catch a yellow cab at the airport, although you might have to wait awhile for one. If you don't want to wait, you can call a car service. There are two main companies that service the New York City area: Carmel (212-666-6666) and Dial 7 Car & Limo (212-777-7777). Both provide excellent service; it really doesn't matter which one you pick.

You can also take the subway. You can take a shuttle (called the AirTrain) from inside the JFK terminals to the Howard Beach Station of the A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line). The A train will take you to Penn Station.

Answer 7

The Jacob Javits Center is located at 11th Avenue, from 34th to 38th Streets. Take the S shuttle train (color code grey) west across 42nd Street, from Grand Central (East 42nd) to Times Square (West 42nd).

At the Times Square Station, transfer to either the Downtown 1-2-3 (the red line) or the Downtown A-C-E (the blue line), one stop, from 42nd Street-Times Square to 34th Street-Penn Station.

Note that the 42nd Street stop on the A-C-E line is not actually Times Square; it's the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Since the A-C-E runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the Times Square Station (and the 1-2-3 line) are at 7th Avenue, the A-C-E does not stop at Times Square, but at 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal. But there is a tunnel connecting the A-C-E to the Times Square Station, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.

If you take the A-C-E, then you will exit the subway closer to the Javits Center. You'll exit on the west side of Penn Station, at 34th Street and 8th Avenue. But you'll have to walk through the tunnel first, to get to the A-C-E.

If you take the 1-2-3, you don't have to walk through the tunnel, but you'll have to walk an extra block when you exit the subway, since you'll exit on the east side of Penn Station, at 34th Street and 7th Avenue.

Whichever one you choose, it will be only 3 or 4 blocks west to the Javits Center: 7th Avenue ---> 8th Avenue ---> 9th Avenue ---> 10th Avenue ---> 11th Avenue.
