A question about traveling in New York?

Question

I live in the bronx and i wanna go shopping but in all boroughs excluding Staten Island. I want to go to the furthest bourough and make my way back to the Bronx as i shop. Where do I start and how long would it take for me to make it to the furthest borough at the least. if it helps i have to start at Pelham Bay which only has the six train and the last stop on that train is in brooklyn..... thanks for the help kisses.......................=-*

Answer 1

1. the last stop on the 6 train going downtown is the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan not brooklyn.

2. if you are looking for a shopping mall, other than the Bay Plaza Mall in Co-op City, you can take the 2, 3, 4 or 5 trains downtown to Atlantic Avenue for the Brooklyn Mall.

3. For a shopping mall in Queens, you can take the R, G or V train to Woodhaven Blvd. and walk a couple of blocks to the Mahattan Mall.

4. There is a mall by the Queens/Nassau county border. Take the 6 train downtown to 51st street. From there take the E train to the last stop Jamaica center. Take the Q5 Bus (which is right at the entrance of the train station) which says "Green Acres Mall" on the teleprompter.

Answer 2

I'm from the Bronx too. From Pelham Bay (not counting Staten Island) the furthest from there would be Far Rockaway, Queens or down by Coney Island, Brooklyn. From the 6, you can get out at 14th Street, take the "L" to 8th Avenue and get the "A" train marked "Far Rockaway" (not the Lefferts Blvd. station). Or for Coney Island, do the same thing getting off 14th Street, but get out at 6th Avenue and go for the "D" train.

Though from where you are, what's wrong with Bay Plaza? :)

Answer 3

I live in Queens, and I do enjoy visiting the Bronx. I'm not sure, but you should look for a map of the 5 boroughs all together ad then go to a travel website to calculate the distance in miles. Try:

www.yahoo.com go to the yahoo maps
www.wikipedia.com
www.google.com
www.mapquest.com most effective!!

Good luck and enjoy your shopping!!

Here are some ideas of what you can do. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see: Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house. UPPER WEST SIDE: Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West, Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields. MIDTOWN: Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores. St. Patrick's Cathedral Museum of Modern Art Sony Bldg Rockefeller Center Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats! Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington. Empire State Bldg. The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids. CHELSEA: Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun. WALL ST: Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve. Seaport area is great to see. THE VILLAGE: Funky shops in the West Village. Walk through the NYU Washington Square Park. The East Village has some shops from new artists and designers SOHO: Great galleries and shops on n off West Broadway. Walk thru to Little Italy for awesome meals and desserts...walk through Chinatown. CANAL STREET has stall after stall of Designer "copies"...bring cash and bargain and watch your purse! These should put an awesome smile on your face. Bring your camera and takes lots of photos to remember your trip. You'll have a blast!
