What train takes people to the Family Court of Manhattan?

Answer 1

The Family Courthouses are located at 60 Lafayette Street, between Leonard and Franklin Streets.

You have a few options: the 4-5-6 (the dark green line), the J-Z (the brown line), the N-R-Q-W (the yellow line), the 1-2-3 (the red line) or the A or C(of the A-C-E, the blue line).

On the 4-5-6:

1) Take the 4-5-6 to the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall Station. If possible, it is preferable to take either the 4or 5, instead of the 6, as the 4 and 5are express trains and will get you there much faster than the 6 local train.

2) You will exit the subway on Centre Street (which turns into Park Row south of the 4-5-6 station). The traffic at that section of Centre Street flows Downtown. You are headed Uptown. So, start walking up Centre Street in the opposite direction that the traffic is going.

3) After just a couple of minutes of walking, you will reach a fork in the road. The road will split into Centre Street on the right (east) side, and Federal Plaza on the left (west) side.

4) Go LEFT onto Federal Plaza, and continue walking Uptown. After the intersection with Worth Street, Federal Plaza becomes Lafayette Street. The Family Courthouses are at 60 Lafayette Street, between Leonard and Franklin Streets. After you pass Worth Street, the next street will be Catherine Lane, and then Leonard Street.

On the J-Z:

1) Take the J-Z to Canal Street.

2) You will exit the subway on Canal Street, between Centre and Baxter Streets. Walk west one and a half blocks to Lafayette Street: Baxter Street ---> Centre Street ---> Lafayette Street.

3) When you reach the corner of Canal and Lafayette Streets, turn left, and start walking south on Lafayette. The Family Courthouses are at 60 Lafayette Street, between Leonard and Franklin Streets. The cross streets on Lafayette, from north to south, go: Canal Street ---> Walker Street ---> White Street ---> Franklin Street ---> Leonard Street.

On the N-R-Q-W:

1) Take the N-R-Q-W to Canal Street.

2) You will exit the subway at the intersection of Canal Street and Broadway. The traffic at this part of Broadway heads Downtown only, and you are headed Downtown. So, start walking on Broadway in the same direction as the traffic.

3) Walk four blocks south on Broadway to Franklin Street: Canal Street ---> Lispenard Street ---> Walker Street ---> White Street ---> Franklin Street.

4) Turn left onto Franklin Street, and walk one block east on Franklin to Lafayette Street.

5) Your destination is halfway down the block, on Lafayette between Franklin and Leonard Streets.

On the 1-2-3:

1) Take the 1-2-3 to Chambers Street. Again, if possible, take the 2 or 3 instead of the 1, as the 1 is a local train while the 2 and 3 are express trains.

2) You will exit the subway on Chambers Street, between Greenwich Street and West Broadway. Start walking east, from West Broadway to Broadway. From west to east, the streets go: Greenwich Street ---> West Broadway ---> Church Street ---> Broadway.

3) When you reach the intersection of Chambers Street and Broadway, make a left onto Broadway, and start walking north on Broadway until you get to Worth Street: Chambers Street ---> Reade Street ---> Duane Street ---> Thomas Street ---> Worth Street.

4) When you reach the intersection of Broadway and Worth, make a right onto Worth Street, and walk east one block to Lafayette Street.

5) Turn left on Lafayette Street, and walk north to 60 Lafayette Street, which is between Leonard and Franklin Streets. It goes: Worth Street ---> Catherine Lane ---> Leonard Street ---> Franklin Street.

On the A or C (of the A-C-E line):

1) Take the A or C (NOT the E) to Chambers Street.

2) You will exit the subway on Chambers Street, between West Broadway and Church Street (one block east of the Chambers Street stop on the 1-2-3).

3) Walk east one and a half blocks on Chambers, until you get to the intersection of Chambers Street and Broadway (West Broadway ---> Church Street ---> Broadway).

4) Turn left onto Broadway, and walk north on Broadway until you get to Worth Street: Chambers Street ---> Reade Street ---> Duane Street ---> Thomas Street ---> Worth Street.

5) When you reach the intersection of Broadway and Worth, make a right onto Worth Street, and walk east one block to Lafayette Street.

6) Turn left on Lafayette Street, and walk one and a half blocks north to 60 Lafayette Street, which is between Leonard and Franklin Streets.
