Best Answer

About one mile. In New York City, approximately 17 to 20 street blocks (north/south blocks) equals a mile, and approximately 5 to 10 avenue blocks (east/west blocks) equals a mile.

The length of the avenue blocks varies considerably, depending on which neighborhood you're in. The blocks on the Upper East Side and in Midtown are among the shortest, with about 10 blocks to a mile. In contrast, there are some avenue blocks on the Upper West Side that are nearly half a mile long!

How far is Grand Central Station from the Dumbo neighbourhood?

They are about 3.5 miles apart as the crow flies (meaning, if you were to draw an imaginary straight line between the two on the map). In road miles, it's about 4 miles, starting out from the Manhattan Bridge, where the intersection of Jay and Sands Streets are (Dumbo is an acronym for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass"), over the Manhattan Bridge, up the Bowery, and then up Park Avenue to 42nd Street (Grand Central is on East 42nd between Park and Lexington Avenues).
