To go
By Metro
The lines 
, express, serve the district, as well as the local line 
, which passes under Lexington Avenue. These three mark the stop at 59e and 86e streets, while the 6 also serves the 68e, 77e and 96e streets. The 5e Avenue is only 3 blocks from Lexington Avenue walking west. As this line is the only one covering the district on a north-south axis, it can get very crowded at peak times.

follow the 59e Street and mark the stop at 5e Avenue and Lexington Avenue. Note that both stations allow a free connection with the lines passing through the station of the 59e Street. (Line 
requires you to exit and travel 4 blocks south to reach 63e Street.)
