Transportation from Murray Hill: Subway, Bus & Citi Bike

One of Murray Hill's biggest selling points is also its most practical: getting around is genuinely easy. Whether you commute to a Midtown office, head downtown on weekends, or catch a flight for work, The Anthem's location puts the whole city — and the airports beyond it — within comfortable reach. Here's how to plan your commute and get the most out of it.

The Subway

Your closest line is the 6 train at 33rd Street, roughly two minutes from the building, running straight up and down the East Side. A ten-minute walk to Grand Central unlocks far more: the 4, 5, 6, 7, and S (shuttle) lines, putting Midtown, Downtown, Brooklyn, and Queens within a single ride or an easy transfer. For most destinations in Manhattan, you'll be there faster than you'd guess.

Buses and the Ferry

Trains aren't your only option:

• Crosstown buses — the M34 runs across 34th Street to the West Side and Penn Station, handy when you're heading that way.
• NYC Ferry — the East 34th Street landing offers a scenic, stress-free ride to Wall Street, Long Island City, Astoria, and beyond.
• Regional rail — Grand Central connects you to Metro-North and the LIRR for trips outside the city.

Biking and Citi Bike

For short hops and nice-weather commutes, Citi Bike stations are scattered throughout the neighborhood, and Manhattan's expanding network of protected lanes makes cycling more viable every year. Secure bike storage in the building makes keeping your own bike practical, too.

Getting to the Airports

Travel is refreshingly simple from here. Grand Central and nearby transit connections make LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark all reachable by a mix of train, bus, and a short ride — a real advantage if you fly often for work or to see family.

Apps and Everyday Tips

A few habits make getting around even smoother. Keep a transit app on your phone for real-time train and bus arrivals, and a maps app for comparing routes when you're heading somewhere new — sometimes the bus or a short walk genuinely beats the train. Tap-to-pay with a contactless card or phone has made fares effortless, so you rarely need to think about a separate pass. For late nights or trips with luggage, rideshares and taxis are easy to find this central. And don't underestimate walking: many Murray Hill errands are faster on foot than any vehicle once you factor in waiting. Over time you'll build an instinct for which mode fits which trip — and that instinct is one of the quiet skills of living here.
