Travel tips

Plan to use the 28th St. subway station (about a 3-minute walk) for quick connections around Manhattan, including museum visits to MoMA (about 2.0 km) and farther uptown to Central Park (about 4.6 km). Many highlights are walkable: The High Line is about 1.1 km away, and Times Square is about 1.36 km away, making it easy to build a day of sightseeing without constant transit. If you want skyline ambiance, consider timing a stop at the rooftop lounge after a day out in Midtown.
