Yes, Penn Station is close to Grand Central Station. They are less than a mile apart.

But, if you are asking because you are planning on walking or taking a bus or taxi from one to the other...don't. You can just take the subway: take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line) one stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to Times Square. Then transfer at Times Square to the S shuttle train (color code grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central (East 42nd).

You can also take the Uptown A-C-E from Penn Station to Times Square, but this will require you to walk through a long, hot, smelly underground tunnel. Since the Times Square Station is at 7th Avenue, while the A-C-E line runs up and down 8th Avenue, the A-C-E does not stop at Times Square. It stops at 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal. The underground tunnel connects the Times Square Station to the A-C-E line, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.

So, it is preferable to take the 1-2-3 from Penn Station to Times Square, so you won't have to walk through the tunnel. But if you can't find the 1-2-3 or something (or if the A-C-E just happens to be right there when you get off your train) you CAN take it to Times Square.
