2 Av/E 75 St

Mid-block on East 75th between Fifth and Madison, 2 Av/E 75 St sits a few strides from the 2 train and the scores of uptown strollers. Like all bus stops, it’s mostly transit furniture—bench, shelter, and a timetable—but the corner happens to sit within reach of the neighborhood’s playgrounds and grocery runs. The block carries a constant trickle of families heading toward the park, making it a practical slice of Yorkville that most visitors never notice until they need it.

Directions are straightforward: the stop is at the southwest corner of East 75th and Second Avenue, New York, NY 10021. Call ahead if you’re meeting someone who hasn’t arrived yet: 212-555-7890. A quick glance at the map shows how this corner links to both the crosstown crosstown routes and the southbound 2 without extra transfers. It’s the kind of spot you remember only when you’re standing there with a stroller or a bag of groceries.
