Figures ways to get to the New Inn (5)
I believe the answer is:
nines
'figures' is the definition.
'ways to get to the new inn' is the wordplay.
'ways' becomes 'es' (east and south - two directions).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to the new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'inn' with letters rearranged gives 'nin'.
'es' after 'nin' is 'NINES'.
(Other definitions for nines that I've seen before include "Very smart if dressed to these" , "Dressed to these is to be perfectly turned out" , "9s" , "In emergency, press three of these" , "Numbers to which one may be dressed up?" .)
