The best way to see Park Slope. From Manhattan, one can get to Grand Army Plaza station in Park Slope on various trains (such as the 1 or 2), but the most scenic one is to take the "Q" train (on the IND line), getting off at Seventh Avenue in Brooklyn (it's the third stop -- first comes DeKalb, then Atlantic Avenue). The trip takes about 30 minutes from midtown Manhattan (you can get it at Rockefeller Center, for example, or 42nd Street, or 34th Street, to name a few major stations). It's a scenic route because the train goes over the Manhattan Bridge, giving the rider a fabulous view of the Brooklyn Bridge. Really, it's the best view of the bridge you can get easily. P.S. New York City subways operate seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The fare is $1.50 per ride and is payable with a token which is sold inside all subway stations. If you will be taking more than three subway rides on any one day, it pays for you to buy an all day subway pass
