Getting there

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.
