Is anyone familiar with the E Village?

I have to go to 47 Great Jones St, which is 3rd St B/w Lafayette Pl and 3rd Ave.

Is Broadway/Lafayette on the F line the closest subway stop? How far is it from the station?

TIA

Re: Is anyone familiar with the E Village?

To get to Great Jone's I'd say take the N/R to 8th St & Broadway and walk over or take the 6 to Astor Place (and walk south along Lafayette) or the B, D or F to Broadway-Lafayette

all three are centrally located.

Re: Is anyone familiar with the E Village?

I think it is better if you take the 6 train. Get off at Astor Place. Exit where it says Lafayette / Astor Place. Walk South on Lafayette towards E 4th Street. Make left on Great Jones Street.

If you take the F, you can get off on 2nd Avenue, but I think you will have to walk further. If you don't know where to get the 6, let me know.

Re: Is anyone familiar with the E Village?

I'm taking the A, so it's really hard for me to get the 6.

I'm going to try the F to 2nd Ave.

Re: Is anyone familiar with the E Village?

The Astor Place stop on the 6 train is probably closer than the Broadway-Lafayette stop on the F train, but not by much - a few blocks maybe?

If I were on the F, I would stay on the F, rather than transferring to the 6, because you'd have to do it a Lexington and have to walk all that way underground to transfer. I'd stay on the F and just walk the few extra blocks when I got off.

OMG. No one told me what a bad area the 2nd ave station is.

On the way there (in daylight) it's not so bad, but E of Bowery it's scary. it was so much better walking to the Astor Place Station.

I think I have to take the A to B'way/Nassau Fulton and get the 4/5 to Brooklyn Bridge, to get the 6 to Astor. What a pain.

but Astor Pl is close, it's familiar to me and there are people there.

ETA: Cause my rehearsals are 7-10. So I'm coming home sorta late
