Can you help with this please? I'm travelling from JFK to the intersection of 51st Street and Lexington Ave
I know to get the AirTrain to Jamaica Station and then the 6 train to 53rd Street - If I get off the subway at 53rd Street, can i transfer by escalator or do I have to go to the street and walk from there - I'm not being lazy, just want to know the easiest way to get there - never done this journey before and don't want to screw up! If I'm wrong, please let me know! Any

Best way with that: 1. Take Jamaica Train to Jamaica, which is 12 minute ride, then with Regular MetroCard put in $5 to exit Airtrain Station, then walk across walking escalator. 2. Follow sign to elevator to E/J/Z subway (which is below LIRR/Street Level.) 3. At MetroCard vending machine, you refill your card with $2 or buy Unlimited pass. 1-Day $7/$7.50 on March 2nd. If you have luggage, ask station agent that you want to use gate. 4. With your MetroCard handy, go to turnstile next to service gate where agent can see the turnstile. Without blocking the view, swipe at same turnstile until it shows GO. When it flash GO, rotate the turnstile arm completed without blocking view of agent, and after it rotated, agent will buzz emergency service gate open. 5. Take Manhattan-bound (E) express train. (Warning late night, (E) becomes local to replace (R) service in Queens) Stay on (E) train until you get to Lexington Av-53rd St. After you take elevator up to mezzaine, follow sign to (6), turn left and keep to right of barrier, and press button by emergency exit gate, and elevator take you outdoor to Lex Av & 52nd St on NE corner.

Well, 51st Street and Lexington Avenue is just two blocks south of the Lexington Avenue-53rd Street station you can walk from the subway to 51st Street. JFK to 51st Street and Lexington Avenue Step 1: take the Airtrain from the airport to Jamaica Station. Please listen for the announcement "Jamaica Station" while waiting for the train on the platform. Step 2: at Jamaica Station, transfer to the Manhattan-bound "E" train (Blue Line). Take the "E" train from Jamaica Station to Lexington Avenue/53rd Street. Step 3: at Lexington Avenue and 53rd Street, exit the subway and walk 2 blocks south along Lexington Avenue from 53rd to 51st Streets. When exiting the "E" train at Lexington Avenue/53rd Street, use the escalator or elevator at the west end of the station (follow exit sign that says "Lexington Avenue"). The fare are as follow: Airtrain: $5 to exit the system Subway: $2 one way. I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck and happy travels. Native New Yorker
