    Thanks...for the info Stick and Allie. The Laguardia location looks convenience. Never used the LIRR but I've used the subway and dollar vans before. And the dollar vans aren't that bad. :p:D

    convenient :) sorry, had to do it!

    the LIRR is much nicer :)

    stay out of the dollar vans!

    so the jersey trains can be accessed near MSG? i'll be staying wiht family in north bergen, so just wanting to make sure i can make it back! :)
    not sure about bergen chi, but check port authority website, cause they have more bus service from times square to jersey.

    ye laguardia is most ideal man. LIRR is your best friend in this situation. Spend the 5-10 bucks round trip and you'll thank me later for not letting you drive into the city or having to deal with the stinky sweaty subway and possible delays.
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

    I think MTA.com has a trip planner that helps too.

    Chiqui! You're coming out for the shows? Cool!
    It depends what train you take
    NJ Transit trains also come into Penn Station

    the PATH train stops at 6th Avenue btwn 32nd and 33rd

    MSG is on 7th Ave and 34th Street

    You have to find out when the last train is though. I don't think they run all night? I don't know that much about Jersey though.
    yup! cashed in my frequent flyer miles, booked a RT ticket for $5 :) now i just have to get tix for teh shows :eek: haha

    thanks for the info, this thread is very helpful!

    It's more than 5. It costs $10.50 to go to Bayside!


    You can't get to public transport easily if you stay near the airport though

    but Flushing is in the middle of everything. It's got a lot of Korean businesses.

    SWEET! Nice! Well done!

    no worries let me know if you have any more questions Chiqui.
    I don't really know that much about Jersey though.

    There's the PATH Trains and there's NJ Transit, that's all I know. I'm sure your family can guide you as to the best way to get into the city.

    $145 in Flushing? That still sound expensive to me

    that's right in the middle of downtown Flushing
    you're w/in walking distance of both the 7 train and the LIRR

    there's plenty of inexpensive places to eat right there on Main Street. (ie: fast food/Asian).
    It's probably about..hmm..maybe approx. 30 mins into Manhattan at the most.
