Walking is going to take about the same amount of time as the subway route you propose. The Javits Center is about a 15 minute walk from Penn Station, right down 34th St. It's 4 avenue (long) blocks so it's a bit of a hike, but I did it while getting to the regional last year and it wasn't that bad.

If you want to stay in NJ, you could also take the PATH train in to 33rd St and walk/subway from there. It'll be one Ave. block longer to walk, or you could take the N/Q/R -> 42nd and transfer to the 7. Again, probably about the same amount of time.


Also, you can pick up the 7 at Times Square/42nd and take that to the newly opened Hudson Yards station at 34th and 11th Ave, right in front of the Javits Center (would have been really nice to have that last year...)
This lines up with what I was thinking. PATH train to 33 then walk or Path to 33 then get to Times Square then 7 to Hudson Yard.

Probably better to walk.

Thanks this is good information.
