Getting Around
BUS STOP near APT- take the 14D - Bus straight to the L train! This bus takes you directly to the L train in minutes. You get a free bus transfer with your metrocard, so can take one bus ride and one subway ride for $2.75. I use it all the time, they come every couple minutes... so you're never waiting very long.

L Train @ AVE A - make sure to be on the EAST end of the train. I use this train the most - NOTE it’s about a 10 min walk from the Ave A exit to the apt. The L train takes you WEST across town or EAST into Brooklyn. Go WEST to Union Square/ 6th Ave/ 8th Ave if you want to go Uptown or Downtown in Manhattan. Or take it EAST for Brooklyn if you want to go to Williamsburg/ Greenpoint/ Bushwick/ Queens.

BUS STOP for M8 - Bus straight to Astor Place and West Side! This just runs across town just like the L. It doesn't come as often as the 14D, but if I'm going cross town and I see it coming I usually hop on. It's very convenient!

BUS STOP for M9 - Bus that goes downtown to financial district/ Chinatown OR to UES. I don't take it that much, but if you're going way downtown on the east side it's convenient.

CITI BIKE DOCK - $10 for a 24 hr rental, I only cycle along the East or Hudson River's. There's a really great bike path that goes most of the way around the city on the river. From the apt you can access it from E 10th St and Ave D (you'll see the overpass on the other side of the roundabout). I have a helmet, please ask to use! I never ever ride without it and I don't ride in the city itself and would advise against it.

Planet Rose Karaoke

EAST RIVER PARK - the overpass is here, you can cross over the highway and get to the park where you can walk along the river. There are great views of Brooklyn. Most of the park is currently under construction, so only a portion of the promenade is open. But its still worth checking out on a nice day if you can.
