QFT sir

[NoahsMyBro]

Will you be driving, or public-transitting?

Will you be driving, or public-transitting?

Probably public since I cant afford taxis for such a long distance

Probably public since I cant afford taxis for such a long distance

Like how much will it take for me to get there in public and how much will it cost in Taxi (I suppose it will be like $40)

The Port Authority Bus Terminal (often just called 'Port Authority') is located between 8th & 10th Aves, and between 40th and 42nd Sts. From Lexington and 48th it's a schlep, but if youo don't mind breaking a sweat and you're not lugging a bunch of heavy stuff with you it's certainly doable. Put another way, if I was doing the walk alone I'd do it, but I don't know anyone else that would walk it with me. Most people will either take a cab or subway to Port Authority from Lex.

Once you get off the bus, you've got a short walk, maybe a couple of blocks, to the DP store. You can't miss it.
