Flight
JFK and LGA are the closest airports to the event. If you check luggage, we recommend budgeting ~30 minutes of extra time to pick it up. The ride to/from the airport is approximately 30 minutes, but can be 45-60 minutes if you're arriving during rush hour. You can rent a car or take an uber from either airport.
Train
The train connects Long Island to NYC. It is an efficient and easy way to get into the city, without having to worry about parking or traffic. There is a train station across the street from the Garden City Hotel, where the LIRR will take you to Penn Station, NYC.
