Things To Do

Easiest/Cheapest way into NYC

The Newport PATH station is the easiest and cheapest way into NYC. The station is less than a 5min walk from both of our hotel recommendations, tickets cost $3 per person, and the train will bring you into the West Village as the first stop - up to 33rd street in Mid-Town located by Bryant Park as the last stop.

Popup Bagels

The best bagels in the city! Eat them fresh! Take the PATH at Newport to the Christopher Street station and walk 4-blocks east and 7-blocks south.
