Questions About Travel

Which airport should I fly into?
La Guardia (LGA) and John F. Kennedy (JFK) are the closest airports and offer easy access to midtown Manhattan. Newark (EWR) is also very close and can be a good option. For the Clark St. Residence, JFK is the closest airport.

Should I take a cab or a subway from the airport?
Taxicabs can cost anywhere from $30 to $65, depending on which airport you fly in to. Travel time will be approximately 30-45 minutes, traffic conditions permitting. If you have a lot of luggage, a cab will definitely be the way to go. Subway & bus travel are significantly cheaper, but it will also take longer and most of the time, involve transfer points. Shuttle (i.e.: Airlink, Super Shuttle) and other shared ride services (i.e.: Hitchsters) are available as well. You may also use HopStop to plan out subway or bus routes.

Can I take Amtrak?
If you are coming from the Washington, D.C. or Boston area, Amtrak is a great option. Penn Station is only a few blocks away from the Midtown housing location, and the red line (accessible at Penn Station) will take you on the most direct route to the Clark Street Residence. Additionally, there are busses that offer convenient services from Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Boston, and Philadelphia.
