Asked by Wiki User

There are many different subway stations at 14th Street: one at 8th Avenue, one at 7th Avenue, one at 6th Avenue, one at Lexington Avenue, one at 3rd Avenue, and one at 1st Avenue.

The L line stops at all of them: the L line runs west/east and east/west along 14th Street, from 8th Avenue and West 14th across to 1st Avenue and East 14th, then under the East River, and out to Canarsie, Brooklyn.

At the 1st Avenue and 14th Street Station, and the 3rd Avenue and 14th Street Station, the only train you can catch is the L.

At the East 14th Street and Lexington Avenue Station (also known as the Union Square Station), you can catch the L, and the 4-5-6 line (the green line), which runs north to Spanish Harlem and the Bronx, and south to Brooklyn. You can also catch the N-R-Q-W line (the yellow line) to Queens and Brooklyn.

At the 6th Avenue Station, you can catch the L, and the B-D-F-V line (the orange line), which runs north to West Harlem and the Bronx, and south into Brooklyn.

At the 7th Avenue Station, you can catch the L, and the 1-2-3 line (the red line), which runs from Battery Park at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, up north to West Harlem and the Bronx.

At the 8th Avenue Station, you can catch the L, and the A-C-E line (the blue line), which runs from the northernmost tip of Manhattan all the way out into Brooklyn, to Far Rockaway and JFK airport.

What is the distance from Barrow Street NYC to Times Square?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Times Square is less than half a mile from Penn Station. Penn Station is at West 33rd to West 34th Streets, between 7th and 8th Avenues. The heart of Times Square is at West 42nd and 7th Avenue.

So, Times Square is 8 blocks north of Penn Station.

When you exit Penn Station, you will come out either at the west or the east entrance. The east entrance is at 33rd - 34th and 7th Avenue, and the west entrance is at 33rd - 34th and 8th Avenue.

Walk north on either 7th or 8th Avenue, until you hit 42nd Street. If you're walking on 8th Avenue, then turn right at 42nd Street, and walk one block east to West 42nd and 7th.
