Walking is easiest and possibly, quickest due to traffic. The New Yorker Hotel is only 6 blocks south of the bus terminal. Exit to 8th Ave and head south to 34th Street. It's a straight shot with no turns. The traffic on 8th Ave heads north (uptown) so walk in the opposite direction (downtown); the street numbers will decrease as you go. If you choose to take a taxi, see above taxi listings for rates. Taxi stand is on 8th Avenue. It'll be a short ride.
