Slamming a 5p Blue Man after a 2p Waitress on Saturday, and can't decide what the fastest way to try and get there on time might be... call a Lyft? Jump on the R/W?
Thoughts?

Yeah, I just didn't know if it might be easier with the car given my 25-minute window, but my impulse is always that subway should win...

Barring some sort of subway issue, the R/W is absolutely the way to go.

Cool, is there a good real-time subway map app these days? There wasn't when I lived there.

Please remember that since we are talking Saturday, there are no W trains and the N runs local, so if the N pulls in at 49th street, don't be afraid to take it.
I just double checked this weekend's schedule and fortunately, there don't seem to be any changes to the N/R this weekend.

Perfect, thanks for checking for me!

No problem. It's my line in Brooklyn, so I'm always checking it. Problems for my end of it, but not in Manhattan

oops I put the wrong direction!!! the S shuttle to Grand Central where you can get on the 4-5 and switch at union square to the 6 or you can just get on the 6 at grand central and ride a few extra stops to astor place.

my current favorite app is Transit (Transit App, Inc.) To save you a minute, you can pre-load the destination and either save it or just leave it atop your recents.

I'll check it out, thanks. Rather know how much time I have to catch the next train...
I Am Reading, you're going the wrong way.

I've found that both Apple Maps and Google Maps on iOS have gotten really good with real-time train schedules recently (can't speak for Google Maps on Android). MTA keeps updating their mobile site and it's also pretty reliable as well nowadays.

I used Google Maps on my android during my trip last week and it was very handy. It does a greatj ob of giving updates on delays, departures and arrivals in real time so you'll know exactly when you'll arrive.
