Train
The LIRR is a local treasure, do not speak poorly of her. The welcome night is closest to the "Westhampton" stop and the wedding is closest to the "Speonk" stop. Taylor’s parents’ house (wedding venue) is a short walk from the Speonk station. Golf cart shuttles to and from the train station will also be running for the wedding on Saturday. There are many eastbound stops from the city or Jamaica (where the JFK Air Train drops you), so identify the town of your accommodation and there will most likely be a stop in that town or nearby. Link below to train schedule. The easiest way to get a ticket is with the "MTA TrainTime" app from your App Store. You don't need a ticket in advance, buy them when you are at the station.
Flight
JFK is the easiest airport for getting to Long Island. You can take the AirTrain to Jamaica and then hop on an LIRR train to Speonk. LaGuardia and Newark are also options, though you’ll have to find your way (public transit or taxi) to an LIRR or Hampton Jitney stop in the city. There is a Hampton Jitney stop in Queens for LaGuardia as well as a stop in Islip if you're flying into MacArthur. Godspeed to you if you fly into MacArthur, the carpets are sticky.
Travel Note
You can also take the Hampton Jitney. Choose any NYC pick-up stop and set “Manorville” or “Westhampton” as your destination. Taylor’s parents’ house (wedding) and the Sydney's "Taylor Made" Cuisine (welcome night) are a short drive from both stops.
Travel Note
Ubers and Lyfts are available in Speonk and the surrounding area but wait times can be longer than in the city. We encourage you to reserve ahead of time and group up when possible. -Hometown Taxi 631 287-5200 -Freedom Taxi 631 288-0800 -Hampton Taxi 631 288-2019
Travel Note
If you are arriving at the welcome night by car, please feel free to park in the Sydney's "Taylor Made" Cuisine parking lot or in the parking lot directly across the street from Sydney's. For the wedding, please feel free to park at the Speonk LIRR train station parking lot, and you will be shuttled (or 8 min. walk) to the house. You can also park on the road (South Phillips Avenue), however, please park in the direction of traffic and do not block driveways or park on neighbors' lawns.
