hello can you tell me what subway line to take from penn station nyc to the brooklyn veterans hospital?

Answer 1

The "N" does not stop in Penn Station...you have to walk a block to 6th Avenue to catch the N

Might I suggest another route:

From Penn Station, take the "A" Train downtown to West 4th Street. (one stop)

At West 4th Street, go Downstairs and transfer for the Brooklyn Bound "D" train.

Take the "D" train to the 18th Avenue Stop in Brooklyn. This is about 1/2 an hour on the train.

When you get off at 18th Avenue, you need to get on the B8 bus at the corner of 18th Ave and New Utrecht Avenue...going towards Bay Ridge. (Best to ask the token clerk when you exit the station where to find the bus...or ask someone on the street....which bus to take.)

Take the B8 Bus to Cropsey Ave and 14th Ave. You can walk from there. (Ask the Bus Driver to let you know when you reach your stop. The bus driver can also point you in the right direction towards the hospital.)

Good luck.

Answer 2

From Manhattan or Coney Island, take the "N" train to 8th Avenue, then take the #70 bus to the Medical Center.

I was interested, b/c I have a friend who is a former marine who uses the veterans hosp (Virginia/NC, not Brooklyn) he tells me some interesting stories about the place. You know, on that website, they also have a shuttle?
