Getting Around
The best subway station is at Stuyvesant and Fulton. Walk out of the house and go right. The next corner is Stuyvesant, make a right on Stuyvesant and walk 5 blocks until you come across a park. The entrance is just through the park. You'll see a green ball at the station.
There is another main entrance on Fulton and Utica, which I suggest using when coming home very late.
