E 68 St/2 Av

Situated on a diagonal that wedges down toward the East River, E 68 St/2 Av stakes its spot right where the avenues widen on the Upper East Side. The stop fits neatly between mid-block brownstones and taller apartment buildings—handy for slipping onto an eastbound route without extra steps. Count it on the crosstown route if you’re tracing Manhattan sideways instead of uptown or downtown.

Look for the shelter at the southwest corner of East 68th Street and Second Avenue; the address reads New York, NY 10065. It hums with bus bay markings, bike-lane chevrons, and an MTA “BxM4” sign that gleams in headlights after dark—nothing fancy, everything functional.

There’s no instant-ticket kiosk here, but at press time riders can phone 212-535-7073 between shifts for real-time queries if schedules aren’t posted. Scans the vibrations of 22, X46, BxM4, and late-night N101 stop every ten minutes or so, all without descending into the subway labyrinth.

Grab a timetable photograph or use the map from the directions link before you set out. A walk to the riverfront is two blocks east; head downtown and you’ll roll through Lenox Hill in minutes.
