Re: Brooklyn Ny (ann)

ann, I'd call the Residence Inn and ask them how close they are

to the Metro North. They might also have a bus that goes from where

they are to the train station.

If it's quite a walk then you might consider finding a hotel that is

close to a train station. I'm a few blocks from mine, takes about

ten minutes to walk there.

If you are staying in White Plains then I believe you would be taking

the Harlem Line (don't let that scare you, it just goes through

Harlem) to Grand Central Station(that's my train also). It goes

straight there, no changes. From White Plains it's about a 45 minute

trip to Grand Central and during peek hours there is a train about

every ten minutes... off peak it's more like every half hour.

Here is the url to the schedules page..... click on the East lines.

From there you could either take the subway or a cab. If you are not

experienced taking the subway I'd suggest taking a cab. If you have

to make several trips then it would be worth doing the subway except

there is still about a 15 minute walk from the subway to the hospital

(you could also take a cab from there if necessary, and if you could

find one... lol) Do you want the instructions for yourself or for

your son and his care provider to come visit? If for yourself, pre

or post surgery?

I hope that paragraph made some sense. LOL Basically, I'd take a

cab from Grand Central, prolly cost around ten bucks. But if you

have several trips to make let me know and I will give you the

detailed subway instructions.
