by Air
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
