Many cities have a "trip planner" website where you can enter your starting point and destination and tells you the best route (subway/el, bus line, etc...) to get to your destination. Is there a website like this for NYC? THANKS!!

This has always been a top site:

Hope this helps...

www.hopstop.com should be what you're looking for.

Do check out the official MTA subway and bus maps to confirm directions, though.

Thanks jlm_mi, hopstop is what I need!!

Be aware that hopstop has some issues.

For subways it lists only one entrance - but many of the major ones have several entrances - often a couple of blocks closer to where you are.

For walking it uses only roads that allow vehicles. Not an issue for most of the city but a big problem with Central Park (it will take you many blocks out of the way) and to some extent smaller parks and promenades without roads.
