Century 21, NYC
Hi all. My sister and I are going to Century 21 next week.
We're taking the train to Penn Station. Does anyone know which subway to take?
We're planning on eating lunch around the South Street Seaport - any dining suggestions?

Take the E train. The last stop is the World Trade Center station which is just across Church Street from Century 21.
You could possibly get there faster by taking the A, which is an Express, to Chambers and then switch. If you're in a hurry do that. If not familiar with the subways, just stick to the E train.

Before you head downtown, you might want to stop at Daffy's which is a block away from Penn Station. I think you will find more that you will like there. Century 21 is CROWDED all the time and I rarely find alot of great stuff there. But hey it's also worth a shot.
Have a great time.

Thanks guys.
I used to take the NYC subways, but it's been a while. We're not in a particular hurry, so we'll take the E.
I've never been to Century 21 before - we are planning on getting there around 11am, so hopefully it wont' be too packed.
Are there dressing rooms, or should I wear a long skirt?
I've never had much luck at Daffy's - either in NY or Phila.

Thanks again, guys. The E was the way to go - we caught it right from Penn Station. Met some people from Paris trying to find their way around, and was surprised, b/c I would think if you can deal with the Metro, would could deal with NYC subways, too. They were really nice. I was hesitant to take out my map and look like a tourist, but we saw 3 different people taking pictures of their travel companions inside the subway!
travelbuff - I see what you mean about Century 21. It is a bit overwhelming. It wasn't extremely crowded, but the dressing room line was very long and I didn't think it was worth it to try on a pair of jeans. But I did get a nice pair of shoes and my sister found a purse.

Glad you had a good time and found a few gems. Century 21 is great over the holidays, lots of gifty stuff and holiday decorations for home. I am often found downstairs in the home section of the store looking for tabletop, you can find some really interesting accessories there.
