I just happen to be flying into New York City Aug 7 for meetings. I'll miss the New York shows, but the Newark show is that night. How far is it from NYC to Newark, and without a car, what is a good way to make the trip?
It would be so sweet if I could make this show!

You can catch a New Jersey Transit train at Penn Station that will drop you off right in front of the venue.

Train is fast though.
Consider yourself lucky that you're traveling right at that time!

Like super far.... not worth your time.
Probably like a 3 hour ride. Definitely not worth you trying to get tickets.
Nothing to see here... everyone move along.
really easy
and its a better venue

other than being in Newark I presume you mean.
Lots of law enforcement during an event, no worries.

Piece of cake by train. Sit back relax and get there in comfort. You can also use the PATH depending where you are in NYC. It might be easier
Hop on the PATH in NYC, you can get the PATh on 33rd St & 6th Ave, 23rd St & 6th Ave, 14th St. & 6th Ave, 9th St & 6th Ave, Cristopher St. or at the World Trade Center, and take it to Newark Penn Station. Once you are in Newark NJPAC is only a few blocks away. It should take you no more that 40 min to get there and it only costs $1.75 each way.
NJPAC *IS* a fantastic venue... I saw Branford Marsallis there... but no one sell the United Palace theater short. Remember this is the NYC venue Neil Young played at on his last tour. Saw him there and it was unreal... like walking into a time machine. It's a little known theater because it's been used by a church and community groups up in Harlem for years... but they've maintained it in its original form, a gala theater from the 1940s. The place exudes "vintage vibe". Neil's deal on his last tour was he wanted to play only at theaters with no digital switches or routers in the lighting system, and with no light from the outside world reaching into the performance area. He was looking for a classic time capsule approach and he dug up the United Palace theater. I've lived in NYC my whole life and this was the first I'd ever heard of the place... but it's absolutely incredible, and would be a fantastic place to see EV. Again, NJPAC is a great venue... but it's more modern. I think they are different theaters... but I wouldn't give either one the edge. If you are trying to decide between the two, or if you can only get tickets for one... you are in for an incredible treat either way.
Also... for the OP... +1 on taking the PATH train to Newark. It's as easy as traveling from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the Subway. 20 minutes tops, $1.50 each way. A no brainer.
Fares went up it's $1.75 now.
