Travel Note
The luxury of traveling to New York means there are a variety of airports you can chose to fly into. Something to keep in mind is that JFK is usually the longest to commute to get to and from Manhattan. Newark and LaGuardia have some more direct public transit options, as well as being closer to the island. With that being said, please do what best suits your schedules and budgets.
Travel Note
We recommend downloading the app Curb. You can use it to hail a taxi from your phone, like an Uber or a Lyft, however they use yellow cabs and therefore have to charge the same rate as a yellow cab. Uber/Lyft can charge whatever they want whenever they want, and can at times be twice as expensive as a Yellow Cab. Likewise, if you hail a cab on the street, when you get in you can pair your phone with the car, and then pay with your phone.
Travel Note
Whether it’s your first time in NYC or your first time in a while the MTA has had some major upgrades in the last few years. If you so chose, you no longer need a MetroCard to ride public transit. As long as you have a card or any tap to pay device, you can use that to pay your fare. Additionally, when navigating the city if you type your destination into Google Maps and select the train icon it will tell which train to take, how to get there, and how long it will take. Living in New York as long as we have, we still find this very handy, especially on weekends when they are doing maintenance.
