What train do i take to get to Toys R Us in times square?

Q. I live at Queens Village. I would like to know all the trains and directions to get to the Toys R Us in Times Square, because I would like to go to Times Square before Christmas.

A. This Toys R us is at Broadway and West 44th Street.

Queens Village will most likely have you end up at the E or F train, depending on which buses you have easy access to. Take either train, really.

If it's the E, take it to 42nd Street. You can exit at the Port Authority Bus Terminal on 8th Avenue, or you can walk through the corridor to the Times Square station at Broadway/7th Avenue (they cross at around 42nd Street).

If you get the F, take it to 42nd Street/Bryant Park. Exit there, and you're at 6th Avenue. Just walk one block west to Broadway and 7th Avenue.

You can enter in your trip at:
http://maps.google.com - and choose to get directions for public transportation.
http://tripplanner.mta.info also works very well. In fact, this is probably the best way, because Google still has to work on a couple of features to make theirs a bit better.

Keep in mind, Google Maps or MTA Trip Planner won't list every option. You might be near ten different bus lines, and most of them might work, but they'll just pick the one that comes at the time closest to when you're going. Still, if you know that a bus will get you to the subway, just take it, even if it's not the one your directions gave you.

The major bus route through Queens Village is the Q43, which will take you to the F train at 179th Street, or the E train if you stay on it to Sutphin Boulevard/Jamaica LIRR station. Again, either train works.


How much is a cab from grand central to the toys r us in times square? ?
Q. How much is a cab from grand central to the toys r us in times square?

A. Why take a cab when you are ridiculously close by? It isn't a far walk - Grand Central is at 42nd and Park Ave and if you just walk down 42nd to 7th avenue (4 blocks total) - and there is Times Square.

Cabs are expensive due to traffic - depends on the time of day you go. I'd save the money and walk a few blocks.


What is the best and cheapest place to buy lego in New York City?
Q. I live in NYC and would like to know the best place to buy legos prefered in the midtown to downtown manhatan area. I went to Toys R US in Times Square and it has many legos but isn't the cheapest any other good place. Also does FAO schwartz carry lego cause I don't think so?
Also I can't really go anywhere to Bronx or Staten Island so please don't say a place there.

A. FAO Schwartz has legos...at least full sized lego figurines(such as batman) so they should carry legos

and Kmart has legos
theres a kmart at
250 WEST 34TH STREET
NEW YORK, NY 10119
and
770 BROADWAY
NEW YORK, NY 10003


How long would it take to walk from Central Park West to Times Square?
Q. One of my relatives lives pretty close to 15 Central Park West, and I might go down there for Thanksgiving.

I was wondering how long it would take walking from there to Times Square (like the toys r us part)

I mapquested it already and it said 7 minutes by car and I highly doubted that, which is why I'm asking.

A. No it's not very far. I would say 10 minutes walk or so. I actually walked from CP SW corner to Times Square in September. My problem was that I stopped several times for shopping. But if I had walked non-stop, well 10-15 min walk.

What are some fun things to do while in NYC?
Q. I'm going for my birthday next month. And i've been there before, about 10-15 times. I'd like to stay around times square, because that's my favorite. But i've been there a lot, so i've seen all the main things. Such as the virgin megastore, the 5-story toys r us, the m&m store, the hershey store. I'm looking for other things. I was thinking about going to the wax figure museum but i'm not really sure. I want to see some other options.

A. The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Central Park Carriage Ride
South Seaport (cool shopping and also can take a boat tour of the East River)
MoMa
Natural History Museum
Jackie O Reservoir in Central Park
Shopping in Soho (also lots of art galleries down there)

Things to do with a ten year old in NYC?
Q. I'm taking my son to the city for his birthday. We want to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and go to the Museum of Natural History (and probably hit up Toys R Us in Times Square). But what else is there to do in November?

A. Walk across Central park to the metropolitan museum of art after going to the natural history museum and look at the egyptian mummies and the arms and armor display.
Checl out the playground in the school yard at 77st and columbus. Take a penny walk, flip a penny at the intersection and let it decide which way to go. heads you go left tails you go right or vice versa (this a nice way to take a walk anywhere with a kid) Take a ride on the staten island ferry. You can do anything just dress for the weather.
Enjoy

where is the best part of NYC to stay in where everything is?

Q. My mom and I want to go shopping! We also want to go to restraunts toys r us, macys, apple, saxs, times square, sephora, american eagle, abercrombie, coach, china town, a lot of shopping. So, we need a place to stay were it is close to all the shopping. thank you !

A. The obvious area, if you want to be centrally located, would be Midtown. There's no need to waste your money staying in Times Square, when you can just walk there. Chinatown is downtown and some of the designer stores you mentioned are more uptown, so you'll never be where "everything is". The best you can do is stay in midtown on the west side, so you won't have to go too far in one direction or the other. This site should help you find plenty of hotels in that are (Midtown west): http://www.nycvacationstays.com/hotels.htm


Any good links/suggestions for a day trip to the Times Square area?
Q. We are heading to Jersey for Thanksgiving and decided to take an extra day and make a side trip. We're thinking of Times Square and a doubledecker bus ride. (we both grew up 15 minutes outside of NY so it's not completely foreign to us) Any good links or suggestions to help us plan our day? Thanks!

A. Empire State Building

Ferris wheel in Toys R Us

Rock Center

Walk all the way to 59th St and enter Central Park..it's sooooooo beautiful

Eat some really good deli.


Which tourist attraction in times square should I go to from this list?
Q. I can ONLY CHOOSE FROM THIS LIST. Please don't suggest other places, it's a field trip.

-Madam Tusso's Wax Museum
-Ripleys Believe It Or Not
-ESPN
-Toys R Us
-Planet Hollywood
-The Hard Rock Cafe

Where and WHY?

A. Wax museums never fail to bore me. how many times can you say "wow it looks so lifelike" before you want to leap out a window?
espn?????

toys r us? the store?? a field trip to a store? that trip would be more fun for some kids than others. "my mom gave me $30 to shop".... "your mom gave you money???"

planet hollywood? never been there.
hard rock? cool place.... for people who like to rock.



Ripleys believe it or not would be my choice of those.


How do I get to Canal st. from times square or from Penn station?
Q. Haven't decided to take the train or bus yet. the bus lets you off at times square but the train would be much cheaper. i want to go to canal st. then to shopping areas the world of disney store, toys r us and MTV store ect. How would I get to those from canal st. Should I just take a cab everywhere? I am assuming that would be expensive. please help TIA

A. Every other response to your questions has at least one mistake, if not many.

If you are at Penn Station you have two options:
1. Take the #1 local train downtown to Canal Street. It will be the 7th stop. (Note: if you go on the weekend, you can take the #2 or #3 trains which will stop at the #1 local platform at Penn Station)
2. Walk to 6th Avenue and 32nd, 33rd, or 34th street and take the N,Q,R, or W trains downtown to Canal Street. On the R or W it will be the 6th stop and on the N or Q it will be the 2nd stop. Take whichever one comes first as the difference in time between the local and the express trains is very small.
The shopping and tourist center of Chinatown is on Broadway and Canal Street. The N,Q,R, or W trains will leave you a couple of blocks closer to this area, but you will have to walk a couple of blocks from Penn Station to get them. In the end, it makes no difference.

From Times Square you should take the N,Q,R, or W trains downtown to Canal Street. It will be the 3rd stop on the N or Q and the 7th stop on the R or W.

The stores you are interested in are all in Times Square. If you need to get there from Chinatown you should take the N,Q,R, or W trains uptown to the 42nd Street Times Square station. Otherwise you can check them out before you head to Chinatown.

Below is a link to the official subway map. Should you get lost, just ask anyone who doesn't look like a tourist for directions; people are actually very friendly.
