What train do you take from Penn Station to 25 West 18th Street?

Answer 1

Well, it depends on whether you're going to West 28th Street or East 28th Street. If you're going to West 28th Street, then you just take the Downtown 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line) ONE STOP, from 34th Street (Penn Station) to 28th Street. You will exit the subway at West 28th Street and 7th Avenue, on the west side of the street (the west side of the street is the Downtown side, and the east side of the street is the Uptown side).

DON'T take the Downtown 2 or 3 trains, as they are express trains and will not stop at 28th Street.

If you're going to East 28th Street, it's a bit trickier. There are two options, depending on how far east on 28th you need to go.

First option:

1) Take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line) or the Uptown A-C-E (the blue line) ONE STOP, from 34th Street (Penn Station) to 42nd Street (Times Square). On the 1-2-3, the 2and 3 are express trains, and on the A-C-E, the A is an express train. But all six of these trains (the 1, the 2 and the 3, and the A, the C, and the E) stop at 42nd, so it doesn't matter which one you take.

Also note that the A-C-E line does not stop at Times Square, exactly. The A-C-E line runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the 1-2-3 and the Times Square Station are at 7th Avenue. You can still transfer from the A-C-E to the Times Square Station, however, you will have to walk through an underground tunnel to get there. The underground tunnel connects the A-C-E line to the Times Square Station.

So, if possible, it is preferable to take the 1-2-3 from Penn Station to Times Square, to save yourself the walk.

2) At the Times Square Station, transfer to the Downtown N, Q or R trains (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line), UNLESS you are traveling between 11 PM to 5:30 AM. The R train does not stop at 28th Street from 11 PM to 5:30 AM, so you can only take the N or Q during those times.

3) Take the Downtown N, Q or R two stops, from 42nd Street (Times Square) ---> 34th Street (Herald Square) ---> 28th Street.

4) You will exit the subway at 28th Street and Broadway, which is smack in the middle of Manhattan, but closer to the East Side.

Second Option (going further east):

1) Again, take either the Uptown 1-2-3 or the Uptown A-C-E ONE STOP, from 34th Street (Penn Station) to 42nd Street (Times Square).

2) 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 Station (East 42nd).

3) At Grand Central Station, transfer to the Downtown 6 train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line). Take the Downtown 6 train two stops, from 42nd Street (Grand Central) ---> 33rd Street ---> 28th Street.

4) You will exit the subway at East 28th Street and Park Avenue South.

Answer 2

1) Take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line) from 34th Street-Penn Station, one stop to 42nd Street-Times Square. You could also take the Uptown A-C-E (the blue line), but this will require you to walk through the tunnel that connects the 42nd Street stop on the A-C-E to the 42nd Street-Times Square Station. It makes more sense to just take the 1-2-3, and save yourself the walk through the tunnel.

2) At the Times Square Station, transfer for the S shuttle train (color code grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central Station (East 42nd).

3) At Grand Central Station, transfer to the Uptown 6train of the 4-5-6 (the green line). Take the 6 train four stops to 77th Street. DO NOT take the 4 or 5trains, as they are express trains and do not stop at 77th.

4) You will exit the subway at East 77th and Lexington Avenue, on the east side of the avenue. Walk east 4 blocks to York Avenue. (Lexington ---> 3rd ---> 2nd ---> 1st ---> York).

Answer 3

The address 25 West 18th Street is between 6th and 5th Avenues (note that 6th Avenue is also called Avenue of the Americas).

Take the Downtown 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line), or the 2 late nights, from 34th Street-Penn Station to 18th Street (at 7th Avenue).

Then walk 1.5 blocks east on 18th Street to #25, between 6th and 5th. You will know which way is east because traffic on 18th Street flows east.
