Getting around New York City is as easy as 1-2-3, literally. The trains located on the Upper Eastside are the #4, 5 & 6 trains and on the Westside are the #1, 2 & 3 trains. The MTA operates 24/7 because NYC is the city that never sleeps.

You’re not sure how to get to your school, internship or job in New York? No problem, the MTA’s Trip Planner can help: www.tripplanner.mta.info or try www.hopstop.com. Just enter your beginning location and your ending destination and voila, you now know how to navigate within our fine city!

The Lexington Avenue bus line is right outside your door and the train station is just 4 short blocks away. Not to mention the infamous NYC Yellow Cabs; just walk outside the 92Y’s& de Hirsch Residence and a cab will just show up to take you where you need to go!
