They are about a mile apart. Grand Central Station is on East 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue, and the heart of Times Square is West 42nd Street and 7th Avenue. They are 5 avenue blocks apart. Normally, 3 to 4 avenue blocks equals a mile, but at 42nd Street, the distance between one of the blocks (Park Avenue to Lexington Avenue) is abnormally short.

What subway do you take from time square to battery park?
Take the Uptown C train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) from 34th Street-Penn Station to 59th Street-Columbus Circle, 72nd Street, 81st Street, 86th Street, 96th Street, 103rd Street or 110th Street.
Central Park runs south to north from 59th Street to 110th Street, and west to east from 8th Avenue to 5th Avenue. The portion of 59th Street that borders the park is called Central Park South, the portion of 110th Street that borders the park is called Central Park North, and the portion of 8th Avenue that borders the park is called Central Park West. However, for some reason, the portion of 5th Avenue that borders the park is not called Central Park East.
The C train runs up and down 8th Avenue/Central Park West, so any of these stops -- 59th, 72nd, 81st, 86th, 96th, 103rd, 110th -- will drop you off right across the street from the west side of the park.
If you want to go to the east side of the park, you can take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line), 1 stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to 42nd Street-Times Square. Transfer at Times Square to the Uptown Q train (of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line) and take the Q to 5th Avenue-59th Street (the southeast corner of the park).
If you want to go to the north end of the park, you can take the C to 110th Street (at the northwest corner of the park). Or, you can take the Uptown 3 train from 34th Street-Penn Station to 110th Street-Central Park North. This will drop you off at the north end of the park, about halfway between the west and east side.

What is the cheapest way to get to Times Square from John F. Kennedy International Airport?
By far the cheapest way is the subway. It costs $2.25, to date (October 6, 2009), plus the $5 you will need for the shuttle. It's also pretty convenient. The shuttle train (called the AirTrain) takes you from JFK airport to the A train. The A train goes straight through Times Square, (as do most of the subway lines: Times Square Station is the biggest subway nexus in the city).
How many visitors does Jardin des Tuileries have?
The Garden of Tuileries is located in Central Paris. There is no official count of the number of visitors. The Louvre museum is located at one end of the garden and had 8,5 milion visitors in 2008, despite being a paying site and having sometimes long queues at the entrance.
The entrance in the garden is free and its access easy. It is also a spot favored by many Parisians, for a few minutes or for half a day. Based on these facts, we can only assume that there are much more visitors to the gardens, than for the Louvre museum.
What was the Times Square like in the 70s and 80s?
When I was a teenager in the late 70's to the early 80's, Times Square was not as bright or "Las Vegas" like as it is now. There were a lot of dark corners but still the great Coca Cola sign was smack dab in the middle. There were old time movie theatres, Howard Johnson (still there), a Barnes & Nobles bookstore that was open 24 hrs (probably in the mid 80's) lots of tourist traps (electronic stores, "I Love NY" memorablia etc.)and of course the ubiquitous porn shops, peep shows and other less wholesome places concentrated around 8th Avenue. I feel like most people my age that the Square has become "Disneyfied" and one big billboard for one major corporation or another. Looking back the good old bad times where not that bad at all.
