How to take the subway in New York? hotel, amp, between, subway, really

andy

I'll be going to New York tomorrow. I get off at Penn Station amp; then need to get to my hotel on 8th Ave between 51st amp; 52nd. Which line do I take? Once there amp; if I want to leave my hotel to hit Times Square or Rockefeller Center, which line do I take? I wanted to check out a comic shop on 14th. Which line for that? Lastly, when I leave the hotel to head back to Penn Station, which line? If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it!

Al from Penn to your hotel take the quot;Equot; train Uptown to 50th street. That will put you close to your hotel.

To go to Times square get back on the quot;Equot; (Going Downtown) and take to 42nd street. If you want to go to Rockefeller Center from 42nd street I would just walk from there.

Not sure what cross streets the comic shop is on, but the quot;Equot; train stops at 14th street as well.
Good Luck

I thought the 1 train from Penn Station to the 50th Street station would be closer but probably either one.  Actually you wont be too far from my job at that point.  

U can walk from your hotel to Rockefeller Center or the north part of Times Square.  Or if you're too lazy take the 1 train again down one stop to 42nd street/Times Square.

Could be, but I know the quot;Equot; better than the other lines.

Thats why I also included the link.

I dont know why you included the part of the map he didnt need though.

That is in case he winds up in Harlem, or the Bronx.  

Seriously I don't know why, when I copied the map it had all of NY, but when I saved it to photobucked it only took the upper half of the map

All he has to do is open the link though.

ahhh got it, you had to cut and paste both halfs  

Thanks guys! More questions....

When I come off the train at Penn Station, it says I have to walk North to 34th Street. Are there signs in Penn Station that say quot;Northquot; or quot;34th Street?quot;

and

Once I find the subway, how do I know which direction to take to get on say the E train?

Yes there are signs all over the place.
