Getting around Carnegie Hill
Lexington Avenue is the main line for most residents, and the neighborhood is built for walking, with Central Park at the western edge.
Subway
The 4, 5 and 6 stop at 86th Street on Lexington Avenue. The 4 and 5 are express, and the 6 is local and also stops at 96th Street. The Q on Second Avenue stops at 86th and 96th Streets, but from the Fifth Avenue blocks that is a long crosstown walk.
Buses
The M1, M2, M3 and M4 run along Madison and Fifth Avenues. Crosstown buses on 86th and 96th Streets connect to the east side and, through Central Park, to the west side.
On foot
Central Park entrances sit along Fifth Avenue, including Engineers' Gate at 90th Street beside the Reservoir. Many errands, schools and museums are within a short walk of any address here.
Connecticut trips
The 4, 5 and 6 reach Grand Central Terminal, where Metro-North's New Haven Line starts. The Harlem-125th Street station, served by the Harlem and New Haven Lines, is a few stops north.
