The Graduate Center is at 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10016 between 34th Street and 35th Street. From Grand Central Station take the 6 train south to the 33rd Street stop. Walk up to 34th, then west on 34th, crossing Madison before hitting Fifth. (If you take a northbound 6 train and exit the 33rd Street station, you'll have to cross Park, then Madison.) From Penn Station, walk East on 32nd (or whatever "low 30s" street you surface on) crossing Seventh, Broadway, and Sixth before hitting Fifth. Walk north on Fifth. From the 34th Street (Herald Square) subway stop (N, Q, R, W, B, D, F, V), walk East on 34th (or whatever "mid 30s" street you surface on) until you hit Fifth. SUNY/CUNY/NYU will be held on the ground floor in the Martin E. Segal Theatre. When you enter the building, you'll likely have to sign in at the security desk. Once you've done that, go to your right (you'll pass the library and skip the elevator bank entirely) down a short hall.
After the conference, join your fellow linguists for a drink! SOLAS 232 East 9th Street (between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue) 212-375-0297 From the Astor Place stop (6 train) or the 8th Street stop (N, R) walk east on 9th Street.
