                *** DIRECTIONS TO DORSAI ***
 
To reach The Dorsai Embassy by car:
 
Take the LIE, 59th Street Bridge or Grand Central to the Queens side of the
tunnel or bridge respectively.
 
        LIE.  From the last exit going West towards Manhattan, follow the
access road way to just after the entrance back onto the LIE East ( and
West through a loop ) entrance.  Make a right heading North parallel to
the East River on Vernon Blvd.  Go to 40th Avenue and turn right.  Go 3
blocks to 11th Street and turn left.  You cannot miss the 3 story brick
building with a huge commercial vertical sign hanging from the side of the
building: 
 
E

I
L
E
 
This is where we are located.
 
        59th Street Bridge ( Easiest way ) - Take the upper roadway and
bear right on the exit ramp going to 21st Street.  Turn right on 21st
Street.  Go to 40th Avenue and make a left going West towards Manhattan. 
Go 3 blocks and turn right onto 11th Street.  From this point, the
directions are the same as for the LIE. 
 
        Grand Central - Take the Hoyt Avenue exit.  Go West to 21st street
(towards Manhattan ).  Turn left, south, on 21st Street.  Go to 38th or
40th Avenues and turn right.  Go to 11th Street. 
 
We are between 38th and 40th Avenues.  Go to 11th Street and go towards
the Avenue you didn't turn onto.  The directions are the same from this
point on. 
 
 
SUBWAY - If you are coming via subway, the optimum way is to pick up the Q
train and take it to it's last stop on 21st Street in QueensBridge. 
Coming up from the subway, you'll be on 21st Street.  Walk 2 blocks to
40th Avenue.  Then walk 3 blocks to 11th Street ( going towards Manhattan,
West ) and then right onto 11th.  The Dorsai is on the left and can't be
missed due to the vertical exile sign. 
 
If you are coming at a prearranged time, there will be no problem.  If you
are not coming for a class or prearranged time, please call us voice or
leave e-mail which should be confirmed before coming.  Our voice phone is
(718)392-3667. 
 
Sincerely,
The Dorsai Staffers
