Eat, then a short cab to your bus
The bus won't wait, so here's our advice: take the cab. Finish dinner, give the driver the terminal's address, 625 8th Avenue at W 42nd Street, and skip the 20-minute walk.
Check your bus company's website for departure times, then book a table that leaves room for the ride and for finding your gate.
Prefer to walk? It's about 20 minutes, heading east and south across Hell's Kitchen from 48th Street, between 11th and 12th Avenues, to 8th Avenue and 42nd Street.
