Traveling into Brooklyn without driving?

I want to go to the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on Leonard St without having to drive in to the city on a Sunday night. I am coming from suburban Philly, can I take the subway in from North Jersey? I don't want to have to pay to park and go through the tunnel.

1. You can take either PATH or NJ Transit into Manhattan, depending on where in NJ you are, and then get the NYC Subway, looks like the L line, to Brooklyn. You need more than one train to get to anywhere in Brooklyn from anywhere in NJ. I don't know NJ Transit's or PATH's schedule though.
2. You should check out Trip123's transit trip planner (see link below) as it plans a trip from any origin address to a destination address in the NYC metro area with arrival and "leave" times. I see The Knitting Factory at 74 Leonard St. in New York and at 361 Metropolitan Ave. in Brooklyn – so you need to figure out which one you want to go to. I put in for a trip from the NJ Transit Metropark Train Station in Iselin, New Jersey (ISELIN TRANSIT HUB) to 74 Leonard St., New York and got a Total Trip Time of 2 hours and 20 minutes using NJ Transit Bus and the PATH train. You may want to drive to Newark Pennsylvania Station area and park as that is where the PATH originates (and takes 22 minutes to get into New York). To find your best route use the trip planner with any origin and destination address in the metropolitan area and by day and time that you want to travel. But, since you are going on a Sunday night you may just want to drive in as parking should be readily available. Good luck and safe travels!
