Theaters in the city

In the past couple of weeks I have gone to two different movies from MTA. The theater locations were also different one was at 42nd (Times Square) and one at 66th (Lincoln Center). After each movie, I went to Lunch at KD and Bagels and Co. respectivly. Besides for basic knowledge of the subway, which is essential, a more advanced knowlede of both the subway and city streets is required in order to make the whole process realistic in terms of time. By switching to the 2 or 3 train at 96 (thanks to the help of a female stanger) we save about a half our. By not knowing the location of KD we lost about 15 minutes. Time is everything I managed to salvage the day somewhat i.e I came two minutes late for last period but I have learned from my mistakes and I don't belive that I would be wrong to say that at this point I can get pretty much anywere in hte city with the fastest ruite.
