| If you have a seat on the LIRR, you might as well stay on to Penn and then walk to the 8th Avenue line A/C/E. Easy to find. Trains heading uptown/Queens tend to be less crowded in the AM rush. Inbound from Jamaica on the Queens Blvd trunk gets mighty crowded...though you could switch to the M at Forest Hills or Roosevelt and have a less crowded ride the rest of the way on the local.

The A/E station is at the western side of Penn Station. You don't even have to go outside. |

give yourself a good 25 mins. sometimes the e train will go 5-7 minutes between trains at rush hour. it's hit or miss.
once your get off LIRR, just follow the mad rush for the e train. a good size crowd is heading to the same place you are.

Thanks all. I think I am going to hoof it from Penn. I am meeting a friend on the same train,he walks up to Park and 51st everyday and makes it well before 8. Seems to be about the same distance to my location.

Being from NJ, do you even have any idea of the E train and its run under Queens Blvd? Besides the OP was looking to go from Penn Sta in Manhattan to 53 and Lex in Manhattan. His trip wouldn't involve the E in Queens. Polodude, Statistically the 53 Lex stop is in the top 5 busiest stations in the city. If you choose to take the E, ride in the 1st car and get off at the east end of the 53 St/5th Ave station and exit on the Madison Ave end. That will put you 1 block from Park Ave. |

I took that line for over 10 years. There are quicker ways to get from Queens to Manhattan.
