Directions from Brooklyn Bridge to Circle Line

I am still trying to figure out what we are going to do when, but I have an idea. I definitely want to walk over the bridge to Manhattan at sunset, so I thought it might work if we walk over the bridge and go straight to where the Circle Line night tour leaves from. Can anyone give me directions on how I would do that? It%26#39;s not far is it? Thanks!!

It depends on what you consider far. It%26#39;s about five miles -- is that ';far';? The Circle Line leaves from 43rd Street and Twelfth Avenue. There is no subway station west of Eighth Avenue, which is about 2/3 of a mile from the river. Probably the simplest thing to do would be to take a cab. The best place to find a cab near the Brooklyn Bridge is directly in front of the Municipal Building at #1 Centre Street, near the corner of Chambers. Taxis coming back across the bridge have to stop for the traffic light -- and that is when you can snag one. If you want a taxi, do not cross towards City Hall after crossing the bridge. Instead, turn right and then cross back to the Municipal Building side of Centere Street.

If you want to take mass transit, on the other hand, cross to the City Hall side of the street. turn right to Chambers Street, and then turn left. Go two blocks (first Broadway, then Church) and at the corner of Church and Chambers enter the subway. Take the A, C, or E train uptown to 42nd Street. From 42nd and Eighth either walk to the Hudson River, or take the crosstown bus to Twelfth Avenue. (Make sure you do not take the bus going to the Javits Center!)
