Native New Yorker made a mistake. He meant exit at Grand Street. Do not exit at Grand Central.
Take the downtown (southbound) A , C or E train (Blue Line on the subway map) from Penn Station to West 4th Street-Washington Square.Once at West 4th Street, transfer downstairs to the B or D trains (Orange Line). Take either Brooklyn-bound (southbound) train from West 4th Street to Grand Street.At Grand Street, exit the subway and walk a block west on the Grand Street to the Bowery.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d source=s��I hope this information is very helpful.Good luckNative New Yorker
we all have to look at the subway map for that. theres only one place to get the map on the internetclick the one that says PDF. that s the good one. know that It isn t drawn to proportion.
