Yes the restaurant will require you to show either proof of vaccination or a negative covid test within 24 hours of the start of the event.
I would plan for a minimum of 2 hours
15 minute cab/uber drive but we are working on providing transportation for this
If you are not a city driver DO NOT plan to drive your car anywhere other than directly to the hotel or a parking garage. Street parking can be very difficult especially if you are in Manhattan. Plan to take the subway or ubers everywhere you go
In some areas weekend street parking is free, others it is 10$ every 2 hours. A garage will likely be a minimum of 100$ a night. I recommend taking the Amtrak up so you don't need to deal with this.
Yes! We are hoping for good weather!
