What subway do you take from Penn Station to Sutton Place?

Answer 1

Take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line) or the Uptown A-C-E (the blue line) ONE STOP, from Penn Station (West 34th Street) to Times Square (West 42nd Street).

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).

At Grand Central, transfer to the Uptown 4 or 6 trains(of the 4-5-6, the dark green line). Take the Uptown 4 or 6 trains to 59th Street. The 5 train doesn't always stop at 59th Street, so you should probably not take it, just in case. Take only the 4 or the 6. The 4 is an express train, so 59th Street will be the next stop after 42nd Street (Grand Central). The 6 is a local train, so 59th Street will be 2 stops after 42nd.

You will get off the train on the east side of Lexington Avenue, at 59th Street. Walk east on 59th Street until you get to York Avenue. Sutton Place is actually the same street as York Avenue. Sutton Place is the two-block stretch of York Avenue from 57th to 59th Street. Sutton Place South is York Avenue, from 53rd to 57th.

Answer 2

Take the Downtown A-C-E (the blue line) from 34th Street-Penn Station to West 4th Street.

Transfer at West 4th Street to the Downtown B-D-F-M (the orange line) to Broadway-Lafayette Street (at Houston Street between Broadway and Lafayette Street).

When you exit the subway, you will be at the north end of Crosby Street. Crosby Street runs between Broadway and Lafayette Street, from Howard Street to Bleeker Street (one block north of Houston).

The station is called the Broadway-Lafayette Station because Broadway and Lafayette are both major streets, while Crosby Street is a very minor street. But the station is technically located at Houston Street, between Broadway and Crosby Street.
