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.

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 housing location. Additionally, there are busses that offer convenient services from Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Boston, and Philadelphia.
