Penn Station is at 33rd to 34th Street, between 8th Avenue (west entrance) and 7th Avenue (east entrance). Walk up 8th or 7th Avenue to 42nd Street. Turn right onto 42nd and walk east to Grand Central, at 42nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues.

That's 4 - 5 avenue blocks from 7th Avenue (not counting Broadway, which runs diagonally and cuts between avenues): 7th Avenue ---> 6th Avenue ---> 5th Avenue ---> Madison Avenue ---> Park Avenue ---> Lexington Avenue.

Or you can just take the subway. Take the Uptown 1-2-3(the red line), 1 stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to 42nd Street-Times Square. Transfer at 42nd Street-Times Square to the S shuttle train (color grey), east across 42nd Street, from Times Square to Grand Central.

From Grand Central to Penn Station, it's the reverse: the S shuttle train west across 42nd, from 42nd Street-Grand Central to 42nd Street-Times Square, and then the Downtown 1-2-3, 1 stop, from 42nd-Times Square to 34th-Penn Station.

Amtrak trains run multiple times a day between Penn Station in New York City and the 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.

See the Related Link below for the Amtrak homepage. In the "From" box, you will need to type in PHL for the 30th Street Station in Philly. In the "To" box, type in NYP for Penn Station in New York.

You can buy your tickets online from the Amtrak website, and either have them mailed to you, or pick them up at the station from one of the ticketing kiosks.

You supposedly need a government-issued ID to board the train, but no one has ever asked to see my ID, and I've traveled on Amtrak about a dozen times in the last five years. But if you have one, it's probably a good idea to bring it, just in case.

Amtrak trains run between the 30th Street Station in Philidelphia and Penn Station in New York City. From there you can take the A-C-E (the blue line) or the 1-2-3 (the red line) Uptown one stop to Times Square (West 42nd Street). At Times Square, you can catch the S shuttle train east across 42nd Street to Grand Central Station, on East 42nd and Lexington. I'm not sure if there are any other trains (like NJT -- New Jersey Transit) that run directly from the 30th Street Station to Grand Central Station. I will do some more research and update this answer later.

The walk, which should take about 20 minutes is as follows:

Exit Penn station on the 7th Avenue side, walk up to 34th St, walk over to 5th Avenue, make a left and walk up to 42nd St, make a right and go a couple of blocks to Grand Central (Park Av/42nd St).

You can continue on 34th St to Park Avenue and then make a left and walk up to 42nd St/Grand Central (you can't miss it) but most people like walking up 5th Avenue.

Answer

Or, you could just walk up 7th or 8th Avenue until you get to 42nd Street, then turn right and walk east to Lexington (Grand Central is at 42nd and Lexington). It's a much simpler route.

You don't need to exit Penn Station on the 7th Avenue side. The 8th Avenue side will be a slightly longer walk, but you'll get there just the same.

Also, if you wish, you can just take the subway. Take the 1-2-3 (the red line) or the A-C-E (the blue line) one stop Uptown to Times Square (West 42nd Street). Then transfer to the S shuttle train (color code grey) east across 42nd Street, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Grand Central (East 42nd).

Taking the 1-2-3 is preferable, instead of the A-C-E. The A-C-E runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the 1-2-3 (and the Times Square Station) are at 7th Avenue. If you take the A-C-E to 42nd, you will have to walk through a long, hot, smelly underground tunnel to get to where you can transfer to the S shuttle.

Are Penn Station and Grand Central Station the same?

No, they are two separate train stations, located in two different places. New York City's Penn Station (there are other Penn Stations in the U.S.) is located at West 33rd to 34th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues. Grand Central Station and Terminal is located at East 42nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues. Grand Central Station is the subway station, where you can get the 4-5-6 (the dark green line), the 7 (the purple line) or the S shuttle train to Times Square. Grand Central Terminal is the railroad terminal for non-subway trains running in and out of New York City.


What should you take to get to the Philadelphia Flower Show from Penn Station NY?

The Amtrak Northeast Regional 67 leaves Penn Station at 3:00 AM and arrives at Philladelphia 30th Street Station at 4:30 AM. The train will cost you from $36 to $97, depending on how you choose to travel. From 30th Street Station you will either need to take a taxi or bus to the Philladelphia Convention Center. Being so early in the morning, you are likely to be standing outside for some time, so you might want to take a later train, find a restaurant or coffee shop open that early, or make hotel arrangements.

Where to find number 6 train at penn station?

The only Number 6 train you may be referring to is the MTA Subway number 6. This train line does not go to NYC Penn Station, but does go to Grand Central Station. The best suggestion is to take the MTA "S" train (for Shuttle) that gives you a very fast trip from Penn Station to Grand Central. There you will find the number 6 train.
