Where is Einstein?

Albert Einstein College of Medicine is located in the northeast section of the Bronx, near the Bronx Zoo and Botanical Gardens. We are just over the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge (formerly Triboro) from Manhattan and near the Whitestone Bridge to Queens. Our Jack and Pearl Resnick campus, at 1300 Morris Park Avenue in the residential Pelham Parkway area, is easily accessible by train, bus, and subway. It’s a 30-minute trip on the express bus to Manhattan and a 30-minute car or cab ride to or from LaGuardia or JFK International airports.

For an aerial view of the campus with directions, please see: campus map. If you do not find what you're looking for, please see below.

Subway/Bus Directions

Three MTA buses have stops on or near Einstein’s Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus.

The BX21 Bus stops at the base of Morris Park Avenue where it intersects with Eastchester Road on each side of the avenue. Exit on the downhill side to arrive at the campus. Enter on the uphill side to travel to points along Morris Park Avenue, including the 180th Street subway station where you can transfer to the #2 or #5 trains.

The BXM10 Express Bus uses these same bus stops as the BX21. It travels between Einstein and Manhattan along Madison and Fifth Avenues.

The BX31 Bus stops along Eastchester Rd where it intersects with Morris Park Avenue. It travels between Einstein and Westchester Square, where you can transfer to the #6 train.
