Flight
NYC has several airports for you to choose from, but LaGuardia (LGA) is the easiest option for domestic flights and is only a short cab ride to the hotel suggestions and venue. For Newark (EWR) or John F. Kennedy (JFK) airports, there are public transit options available or a lengthier cab ride is an option. Please follow the signs for the "Taxi" line, do not get a taxi from anyone soliciting a taxi elsewhere.
Travel Note
Public Transit in NYC is the best option to get around while you are visiting! Mike & HG are big rail fans. The closest subway lines to the hotel suggestions and venue are: 7 train: the 7 train takes you either deeper in Queens (if you wanted to checkout a Mets game! LGM!) or into Manhattan, with stops at Grand Central, 5th Ave., Times Square, and Hudson Yards. F/E/M/N/W trains: all of these lines get you into various parts of Manhattan G train: the G train takes you to Brooklyn only. It's the easiest way to get to the Welcome Party! Mike & HG live off the G :) *If you have Apple Pay on your phone or a tapped Credit Card, you can use your phone/CC now to enter the subway! *Please refer to the MyMTA app or the MTA website for any service updates. Other transportation options: Ubers & Lyfts are aplenty in NYC NYC Ferry: Mike & HG are HUGE fans of the ferry - their second date started out on the ferry! Taxis (if their light is on, they are available to be hailed)
