Hotel, train, and airport recommendations for out-of-towners.
We didn't want to force anyone to stay in a particular hotel since prices vary drastically, people have different preferences, and there are so many in one small area close by.

Thompson Central Park New York, by Hyatt
119 West 56th Street, New York, NY 10019

The Empire Hotel

Hotel
Holiday Inn New York City - Times Square by IHG
585 8th Avenue, New York, NY 10018
Train
Amtrak or MetroNorth Rail
We've taken Amtrak from Boston, MA / Windsor Locks, CT and MetroNorth from New Haven, CT many times -- a great option for those coming from CT and MA! Book early though for the best prices.
Flight
La Guardia Airport
NYC has tons of airports, but La Guardia is definitely the easiest for domestic flights, and is only a short car ride from all hotel suggestions.
Flight
Newark Liberty International Airport
Newark is the next most convenient airport to get into the city, if LaGuardia doesn't work out! Train and car rides are ~30 minutes to hotel suggestions.
For all the days along the way
