# How to Get There

Address

New York City, NY, United States

## Metro

**Subway** — New York's MTA subway is the fastest way to get around. Major lines serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and parts of Staten Island. A single ride costs $2.90. MetroCard or contactless (OMNY) accepted.

## Bus

The MTA bus network covers all five boroughs with over 300 routes. Stops are marked with blue signs. Same fare as subway ($2.90). Express buses connect more distant areas at a higher fare.

## Taxi

The iconic **yellow cabs** are everywhere in Manhattan. Starting fare is $3.00 plus $0.70 per 1/5 mile. To/from JFK there's a flat rate of $70 (plus tolls and tip). Credit cards accepted.

## On foot

Manhattan is surprisingly walkable. From **Times Square** to **Central Park** is about 10 minutes. From **Brooklyn Bridge** to the **Financial District** is just 5 minutes. Walking is often the best way to discover neighborhoods.

## From the airport

**JFK (John F. Kennedy)** — AirTrain to Jamaica Station ($8.25), then subway or LIRR to Manhattan. Flat taxi fare: $70. Duration: 60-90 minutes.
**LaGuardia (LGA)** — Q70 bus to subway (free with MetroCard), or taxi ($30-50). Duration: 40-60 minutes.
**Newark (EWR)** — AirTrain to Newark Penn Station, then NJ Transit to Penn Station Manhattan ($15.25 total). Duration: 45-70 minutes.

## From the station

**Penn Station** — Main hub for Amtrak, NJ Transit, and LIRR. Located in Midtown (34th Street), connected to subway lines 1/2/3 and A/C/E.
**Grand Central Terminal** — Terminal for Metro-North Railroad and subway lines 4/5/6/7/S. Architectural masterpiece in Midtown East.

Tip

Get an unlimited 7-day MetroCard ($34) if you plan to use public transit frequently. Alternatively, the OMNY contactless system automatically caps your fare after 12 weekly rides.
