I suggest you take the subway as well. It will cost you $2/person to get from Grand Central to Penn Station. Oracle described the right directions. You will not have to pay to transfer.
Walking is about 15 blocks. Take the 42nd Street exit, walk to 7 Ave, and head downtown to MSG. Take you about 25 minutes or so.

Oracle - I have NEVER taken a subway before. When I leave Grand Central, where do I go to get the subway??? What do you mean by "Shuttle to Time Square"? and
"transfer for the downtown 1, 2 or 3 for Penn Station"? Is "1, 2 or 3" the bus numbers?? So once I get to Times Square I get on a bus to Penn Station??? I appreciate the help for everyone. I think it will take the whole city to get me to MSG!!!

Relax. When you arrive at GCT, just ask whoever is next to you, "where do I get the shuttle?" It's right inside Grand Central. The shuttle is a subway line (indicated by an "S") that only goes between GC and Times Square. You can't get lost, it's just one stop. There are three shuttle trains on three tracks, and all they do is go back and forth between those two stations. When you get off the shuttle at Times Square, bear toward the right. You'll see red signs for the #1, #2, #3 subway lines. Above the stairs you'll see the sign, and it will tell you which direction -- Uptown or Downtown. You want to take the Downtown direction. If there's a train in the station when you go downstairs, grab it! It will be either the #1, #2 or #3 -- No other train stops at that platform. You're only going one stop, to 34th St./Penn Station.
It's the easiest trip! Take a deep breath. Oh, and buy your metrocards at the vending machine. They're very user friendly, they take cash, credit or debit cards.
O.k. now? Good. Stop using so many !!!! and ????? -- you're making me nervous!

Oracle - I"M making YOU nervous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL I am going to take your advice and just take a taxi from Grand Central to MSG. Everything else in between is just too nerve racking for me. I am going to MSG to see Fleetwood Mac. As long as I don't end up on the 11:00 p.m. news, crying from being lost, I will be fine. Thanks again! (oh - sorry - I used "!!!!" and "???" again.
I will let you know how I made out!!!
P.S. - I'm still scared!!!!!!!!!!!!
