Lower Manhattan is the most accessible neighborhood in New York City, with an extensive public transportation network. It's easy to get here from every borough as well as from the surrounding region.
There are 14 subway lines (A, C, E, J, M, Z, R, W, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), eight local and 25 express bus routes, mulitple ferry routes and PATH train service to New Jersey.
The district is also accessible by car through a network of highways, bridges, and tunnels. The Brooklyn-Battery tunnel and the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges connect Lower Manhattan with Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island; the Holland Tunnel, directly north of our district, connects Lower Manhattan to New Jersey. Two major highways serve the area: the FDR Drive on the east side and Route 9A/West Side Highway on the west.
