Answer 2

You can transfer from the D to the 6 at Broadway-Lafayette/Bleecker Street. The Broadway-Lafayette station on the B-D-F-M line is connected to the Bleecker Street station on the 6 train, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system.

That's the only direct transfer. Otherwise, you could take the D to 34th Street-Herald Square, and transfer there to the N-R-Q (the yellow line). Then take the N-R-Q to 59th Street-Lexington Avenue (if you're heading Uptown, and be careful not to get off at the stop before, which is 5th Avenue-59th Street), or 14th Street or Canal Street (if you're heading Downtown). Transfer to the 6 at 59th-Lexington, 14th-Union Sq, or Canal Street.

Or, you can take the D to 42nd Street-Bryant Park, and transfer there to the Uptown (Queens-bound) 7 train, 1 stop, to 42nd Street-Grand Central. Transfer to the 6 at Grand Central.
