It would take about a half hour to walk: the Port Authority is at 42nd Street and Central Park begins at 59th Street. Just exit the Port Authority onto 8th Avenue and turn left (to go uptown). The cross-streets will go up (43rd, then 44th, etc.) When you get to 59th, you'll be in Columbus Circle and you'll see the park.

For a taxi that distance, assuming normal heavy but moving traffic, you would pay about $15.

Well, to get to the southwest corner of the park is less than a mile. Just walk up 8th Avenue until you hit Columbus Circle. But the park is huge, and if you're going to say, the Museum of Natural History, you'll need to take a subway or taxi, because that's another couple of miles on top of that.

Exit Port Authority on the east (8th Avenue side). Walk north for approximately 15-17 blocks. Central Park will be on your right hand side, just after Columbus Circle.

It would not cost $50 for a cab from 34th & 8th Ave to CPW unless you are going to the zoo or way uptown. Where in Central Park? East side or West side? Port Authority is on the west side.

From 42d and Eighth Ave, cross Eighth ave and go one block, turn left and walk about a mile. This way you can browse through the Times Square area on the way.
