Airports
For our out-of-town guests who are not familiar with the surrounding NYC/NJ area, we strongly suggest that you do NOT drive or get a rental car in NYC! New York and New Jersey have a lot of tolls and traffic is very congested. Most hotels will not provide you with free parking, and the price to park in garages is very expensive. Instead, we suggest flying or taking an Amtrak train if you live on the East Coast.
LaGuardia Airport (recommended)
Takes about 45min-1 hour to get to downtown Manhattan, traffic depending.
Metered Taxi: $50-60 to Manhattan.
Uber/Lyft (recommended): $60+ to Manhattan. Price can vary based high traffic times.
Newark Liberty International Airport
Takes about 45min-1 hour to get to downtown Manhattan, traffic depending.
Uber/Lyft (recommended): $45+ to Manhattan. Price can vary based high traffic times.
