Is there a place near Grand central station where I can go to pick up a free copy? I think the website said most LBS have it, is that true?

Most do, but you can also call 311 and have one mailed to an address of your choosing.
I dont know of availability at shops near there, but the closest would be Conrad's @25 Tudor City Pl.
Or you can download the .pdf of the map from Transportation Alternatives to hold you over until you find a print copy.

There's actually a woman (maybe from Times Up?) who walks around handing them out to cyclists. I was waiting at the window of Ben's Pizza one night, on Spring Street, when she passed by and tried to stick one in my rear rack.

If you cant get a copy at a shop, look into Transportation Alternatives site. They have it

I doubt you'll be able to get a copy of the map at NYPL. (http://www.nypl.org) According to their website they seem have the Bicycle Network Master Plan but it's probably in the reference section.

Why not give Conrad's Bike Shop a call?

Conrad's Bike Shop, 25 Tudor City Place, 212 697-6966
