If the game is a matinee or weekend - you can choose either method but I'd take the A/C uptown to 59th St and transfer because it has one-two less stops to 59th St (A C stops at 42, and maybe 50th (if local) vs B D stops at 42, 47th, 7th Ave) so if you factor in the time to walk to 6th Ave plus extra stops - not worth the effort IMO as the transfer is very easy. Sidebar - the only advantage you can have in this scenario during evening rush is many passengers deboard at 34th St so if you are seeking a seat for the long trip to the Bronx it might be the best place to find one during evening rush hour on B or D. If you arriving PA station for evening game that translates to you are arriving PA station during evening commute home and no human should try to walk East on 31-34th St to get to B/D on 6th Ave if can avoid it because the majority of people are walking in your direction (with a high level of urgency) to catch their train homes. If attending a mid-week game which will start in the evening (unless a matinee) you should take the A/C uptown and transfer at 59th St as mentioned earlier. It runs all the way to Penn Station in Manhattan. Among the good eating options in the area are Pizza Suprema, on 8th Avenue between 30th and 31st, for a great slice (I’m a particular fan of their Sicilian and Grandma square slices), and Keens Chop House, on 36th Street a little east of 6th Avenue, where I enjoy sitting at the bar and ordering off their more casual pub menu (including a great chicken-under-a-brick, a sinfully good roast beef hash, and a very respectable steakhouse burger). As is the case with new Yankee Stadium, the NYC transit system will bring you right to Citi Field. One final, and possibly deciding, factor is whether the OP will have any time to kill between arriving at Penn Station and departing to Yankee Stadium. It’s also been my observation that outside of the morning rush hour, the Penn Station A/C/E subway station is less of a zoo than the Herald Sq subway station, and in particular the Herald Sq area around the subway station (though, again, not a major factor). That having been said, there’s not a huge difference between the two options, but when I arrive by train I find connecting to the A/C/E lines just as easy as connecting to the 1/2/3 (or walking to 6th Avenue, which I’ve done many times as well). And assuming the OP is not being teletransported to the 7th Avenue front entrance, he may well arrive by train on a track closer to the 8th Avenue side. heading to 6th Ave.As a lifelong New Yorker, you undoubtedly have noticed that Penn Station stretches from 7th Avenue to 8th.
