Whats the best way to get from the Villa to Manhattan and how long does it take?
You can get to Manhattan by subway with the number 1 train (red line) located on 242nd street. You can take a bus to the subway (3-4 stops). The walking distance to the subway is approximately 20 minutes. In the summer you can easily walk to the subway, but in the winter, I recommend to take the bus. The subway ride to the city center (Times Square) is approximately 30 minutes. The number 1 train goes direct to 42nd street. The approximate total travel time from the house to Time Square is 45-60 minutes (assuming you take the bus to the subway station). This subway line also goes to the Village, Ground Zero, Macy’s, Madison Square Garden, Columbia University, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Statue of Liberty Ferry, etc.
