   And if he's starting at St. Nick, that's a lot harder to reach than Lexington.   
   I needed to go from 86th & Third to Yeshiva University, so I took the M103   
   door-to-door (I listen to the radio in the evening). It may have been 1/2 hour   
   just from St. Nick to Amsterdam.

   Why would I do that? I use the complex almost weekly.

   In short, there's no way for him to get from his starting point to Grand   
   Central   
   using the IND.
