New York City
is served by three major airports; John F. Kennedy,
Newark and La Guardia. As well as a vast international
presence, every major domestic carrier serves
the New York area. New York airports, like all
airports in North America, have stepped up their
security operations. Travelers, therefore, should
be patient and allow plenty of time when arriving
or leaving.

Arriving
by Car
From the New Jersey
Turnpike (I-95) and points west, there are three
Hudson River crossings into the city: the Holland
Tunnel (for Lower Manhattan), the Lincoln Tunnel
(for Midtown) and the George Washington Bridge
(for Upper Manhattan). There is a small toll at
each for vehicles driving into the city.
From upstate New
York, travel on the New York State Thruway (I-87).
This road crosses the Hudson on the Tappan Zee
Bridge and becomes the Major Deegan Expressway
(I-95) through The Bronx. From here on in, take
the Triborough Bridge and the FDR for the east
side and the Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95) for
the west side.
From New England, the New England
Thruway (I-95) connects with the Bruckner Expressway
(I-278), which leads to the Triborough Bridge
and the FDR on the east side. For the west side,
take the Bruckner to the Cross Bronx Expressway
(I-95) to the Henry Hudson parkway south.

Getting
Around New York
On arrival in Manhattan,
the best thing to do with your car is to park
it in a garage and leave it there. The garage
costs are likely to be upwards of 25 USD a day
but this is favorable to driving in Manhattan.
The subway is by far the easiest
method of getting around. However, the map
and train system is quite different to other
major cities. There are no line numbers but
rather they use letters and/or numbers for
each train. That number or letter which is
also color-coded will then follow a set route.
Once acquainted with, the subway is very reasonable
at 1.50 USD for any length of trip with Metro
cards for multiple trips available at all
stations
