Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- There are three major airports: JFK, La Guardia and Newark. Buses run between Manhattan and JFK and La Guardia; see www.nyairportservice.com.
- Boats
- You can get water taxis, cruise liners and ferries from the west and southern points of Manhattan.
- Trains
- Amtrak (www.amtrak.com) provides all long-distance services from Penn Station.
- Automobiles
- A cab from JFK will charge a flat rate of $45 plus tolls. This is not the place to be renting a car: parking is a headache, while the subway and cabs are cheap and easy.
