How can you get to Varick Street in Manhattan from Brooklyn?

Answer 1

A useful answer to this question cannot be given unless you specify where in Brooklyn you are coming from. Brooklyn is slightly less than 100 square miles in area, and 8 of New York City's 9 subway lines (not including the shuttles) run through it. The directions will be completely different, depending on which subway line is closest to your starting point.

Answer 2

It depends on where on 33rd Street you're coming from and where on Varick Street you're going to.

From West 33rd Street, you can take the Downtown 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line) or the 2 late nights, from 34th Street-Penn Station (at 7th Avenue) to Houston Street, Canal Street or Franklin Street. All three of these stations are on Varick Street.

From East 33rd Street, you can take the Downtown 6 train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line) from 33rd Street (at Park Avenue South) to 14th Street-Union Square.

Transfer at 14th Street-Union Square to the Manhattan-bound L train (the grey line), one stop, to 6th Avenue-14th Street.

Walk through the tunnel that connects the 6th Avenue-14th Street Station to the 7th Avenue-14th Street Station. At 7th Avenue-14th Street, get the Downtown 1 to Houston Street, Canal Street or Franklin Street.
