It should not take you more than an hour.Honestly, DO NOT take the R the entire way.The R runs local its entire route, plus it has more stops between lower manhattan and downtown Brooklyn.I suggest what you do is take the N from Times Square to 59th St. in Brooklyn. The N runs express in Manhattan and through most of Brooklyn. From Times Square to 59th st, there are only 6 stops.Once you get to 59th st, you can walk down only ten blocks to Bay Ridge Avenue (which is 69th st). Those blocks are really short.Or, if you don t want to walk, you can wait for the R for one stop.If you get off the N at 59th st. or the R at Bay Ridge Ave/69h, the stops are on 4th avenue.
You can take the R train all the way without changing trains. But if you take the N train from Times Square to 59th St Brooklyn, you will save about 15 minutes. At 59th Street, you can change for the R to Bay Ridge. It normally takes about 40 to 45 minutes if you take the N and R combination during the day. About 55 minutes to an Hour if you just take the R the whole way. When you get to the subway station in Times Square, just follow the signs to the R and N lines. They re pretty easy to find.The R stops right on Bay Ridge Ave. If you need to, there s a bus on Bay Ridge Ave too.Here is a subway map you can download to your computer and it can also be enlarged and printed.http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/subwaymap0��
The trip take about 80 minutes (1 hour and 20 minutes). From Times Square, take Brooklyn-bound (southbound) R train (Yellow Line on the subway map) to the end of the line at Bay Ridge-95th Street.Please note, the R train runs local all the way from Times Square to Bay Ridge.Good luckNative New Yorker
