Direction
To 115 East 61st Street
LaGuardia and Kennedy Airports:
For
our Out-of-town Visitors, each airport has either taxicab
stands or bus service (to Grand Central Station). The taxis
run by meter from LaGuardia Airport and have a fixed-rate from
Kennedy. They will take you directly to the center. The bus
will take you to Grand Central Railroad Terminal where you can
take the IRT subway uptown to 59th street. This exit is 2 blocks
from the office. An alternative method is to take the third
avenue bus uptown to 60th street. The office is located between
Park and Lexington Avenues at 115 East 61st Street.
For
our Long Island Visitors, most of you like to drive via
the Long Island Expressway to the Midtown Tunnel, or the 59th
Street Bridge. There are parking garages on 61st Street just
east and west of 3rd Avenue, just east of Lexington Avenue,
and just west of Park Avenue. If possible, the Long Island Railroad
is a better choice. The number 4 bus stops directly east - across
from the 7th Avenue exit from Penn Station - Madison Square
Garden. The number 4 bus will take you up Madison Avenue to
approximately 2 blocks west of the center. For the more courageous,
consider taking the RR train uptown (an underground walk beneath
Penn Station). The RR will take you to 59th Street and Lexington.
This is 2 blocks from the center. A taxicab will gladly take
you from Penn Station as well. All in all, we prefer the bus.
For
our New Jersey Visitors, the Path train will take you
to Penn Station as well. If you live too far north, south, east
or west you will likely be taking the train to Penn Station.
The number 4 bus stops directly east - across from the 7th Avenue
exit from Penn Station - Madison Square Garden. The number 4
bus will take you up Madison Avenue to approximately 2 blocks
west of the center. For the more courageous, consider taking
the RR train uptown (an underground walk beneath Penn Station).
The RR will take you to 59th Street and Lexington. This is 2
blocks from the center. A taxicab will gladly take you from
Penn Station as well. All in all, we prefer the bus. If you
are traveling by car, you will take one of the tunnels or the
George Washington Bridge and should look for parking. There
are parking garages on 61st Street just east of 3rd Avenue,
just east of Lexington Avenue, and just west of Park Avenue.
For
our Westchester and Rockland County Visitors, Metro-North
Trains will take you to Grand Central Railroad Terminal where
you can take the IRT subway uptown to 59th street. This exit
is 2 blocks from the office. An alternative method is to take
the third avenue bus uptown to 60th street. The office is located
between Park and Lexington Avenues on 61st Street. It is easy
to get back to the Grand Central Terminal using the Lexington
Avenue bus. If you must drive, we usually take the Triboro or
Willis Avenue Bridges to the FDR Drive South. You should exit
the FDR at 63rd Street and make the first left onto York Avenue.
You should make the next right onto 61st Street heading west.
There are parking garages on 61st Street just east of 3rd Avenue,
just east of Lexington Avenue, and just west of Park Avenue.
