Route Planning from Brooklyn to Both NYP Campuses
Travel time depends on your neighborhood and which campus. Weill Cornell on the Upper East Side is closer to most of Brooklyn. Columbia in Washington Heights adds 20 to 30 minutes on top of that.
- South Brooklyn to Weill Cornell. BQE to Brooklyn or Manhattan Bridge, FDR Drive north to East 68th Street. 40 to 60 minutes depending on the morning rush.
- North Brooklyn to Weill Cornell. Williamsburg Bridge to FDR north. 25 to 40 minutes on a good day.
- Any Brooklyn to Columbia. Cross into Manhattan, West Side Highway or Harlem River Drive uptown. 50 to 75+ minutes depending on traffic and pickup area.
Morning rush between 7:30 and 9:30 AM is the tightest window, and most hospital appointments fall right in it. Build in at least 20 minutes of buffer for check-in.

| Williamsburg, Greenpoint | Williamsburg Bridge to FDR Drive | Often the fastest to the Upper East Side |
Weill Cornell or Columbia? Your Brooklyn Route Depends on the Campus
NewYork-Presbyterian has two Manhattan campuses and they are not close to each other. Your route from Brooklyn and the travel time both depend on which one. Our drivers who provide medical transportation to NewYork-Presbyterian know both campuses and will get you to the right building entrance.
Getting Back to Brooklyn from NY-Presbyterian
Discharge timing rarely lines up with what the hospital tells you. If you or a family member need a ride home to Brooklyn after a stay at NYP, call us with a rough release window. We will stage a driver and adjust as the timing shifts.
For patients planning a hospital discharge ride in New York City, even 30 minutes of notice helps.
