Connection is available between the LIRR's Jamaica station and the Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue station on the New York City subway system.
Transfer to the subway system (you can buy a plastic Metrocard or a paper Single Ride Ticket at one of the electronic kiosks), and board the Manhattan-bound J-Z (the brown line). You will be boarding the J train, unless you're traveling between 7 and 8:15 AM. The Z train is a one-way rush hour express train; it runs to Manhattan from 7 to 8:15 AM and from Manhattan (to Queens and Brooklyn) from 4:55 to 5:45 PM.
Take the J-Z from Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue to Chambers Street. This station is really a block north of Chambers Street, on Centre Street at Reade Street. But it's connected to the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station on the 4-5-6 (the dark green line), which is at the corner of Centre and Chambers Streets. So depending on which exit you use, you'll exit the subway at Chambers Street or Reade Street.
The Chambers Street/Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station is 1 to 2 blocks up from the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. Walk 1 or 2 blocks down Centre Street (along the east side of City Hall Park). The entrance to the footpath (the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade) as well as the auto entrance, will be 1 block down from Chambers Street, across the street (across from City Hall Park).
