  From Greenwich, head to the Greenwich Train Station located at 2 Railroad Ave. Purchase a ticket to New York City (make sure to specify the destination as Grand Central Terminal if you're not sure). Once you board the Metro-North train, enjoy the approximately 50-minute ride to Grand Central Terminal. Upon arrival, exit the station and head towards the main concourse.

  Once in Grand Central Terminal, follow the signs to the subway stations. Take the 4, 5, 6, or S subway line (Shuttle) to reach your next destination. You'll want to get off at the 42nd Street - Bryant Park station if you're heading to St. Marks Place. From there, walk east along 42nd Street until you reach 5th Avenue, then turn south and continue walking until you reach 8th Street.

• Bus

  After arriving at Grand Central Terminal, you can also take a bus. Look for the MTA buses heading down 42nd Street. You can catch the M5 or M20 buses, which will take you towards the West Village and have stops near St. Marks Place. Make sure to check the bus routes and stops on your phone or at the terminal.
