Traveling From Area Airports:
Below you will find information for travel from Newark, LaGuardia and JFK airports to the Times Square area,
where our host hotels are located. If you are traveling from a different airport or staying in a different part of the
city Hop Stop (http://www.hopstop.com) is a great resource for Driving, Walking and Public Transit Directions.
New York City is very hard to navigate via car and parking is very expensive, we do not recommend bringing or
renting a car.
Subway
New York has a vast and easy to use subway system. It is by far the cheapest and easiest way to travel in the city.
For a complete subway map check out : http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm
Highly Recommended: Hop Stop is also a great resource that offers subway directions. They have a free App
available for download on your smart phone.
Up to three children (44 inches tall and under) ride for free on subways and local buses when
accompanied by a fare paying adult.
A single ride ticket is $2.50
A Seven Day Unlimited ticket is $29.00
Taxi's
Yellow cabs are available for street hail. Black car services and or "gypsy cabs" cannot legally be hailed
from the street. We recommend that you do not use these cars.
