By Train – Metro North

Take the New Haven Line to New Rochelle. It's about 30 minutes from Grand Central. You can walk or take a cab from the station. TRC is only a 12 minute walk (about 1 km, 0.7 miles) so you'll probably just take a cab once. Check the train schedule here.

Walking directions from Metro North station:
The walk is easy, well lit and along highly traveled streets. Bring a copy of the neighborhood map just in case.
  1. Walk to stairs at the front of the platform - that's the end that the train is traveling. Exit out of station onto North Avenue (the cross street over the tracks towards front of train). Your walk will be minimized if you sit in the first car.
  2. Go left onto North Ave. and an immediate right onto Garden St. (about 60 m from station exit).
  3. Continue on Garden St. and go right under the Metro North overpass (about 400 m).
  4. Go left at the Toyota dealer towards the EXPO Design Center.
  5. Proceed toward the EXPO on the sidewalk along the fence. You'll see the New Rochelle Racquet Club opposite the Expo Center directly along the sidewalk.
  6. Continue to the pedestrian passage in the fence just past the racquetball club. Walk through the gate to get to the actual street where the club is located and walk about 50 ft. You'll see a parking lot on your right. The entrance is adjacent to the parking lot. You're here!
