Hi Charley,

I dont know anything regarding a transfer but a taxi to the Manhattan area was $45 from JFK, this was last Oct so it may have increased.

Have a great time :)

Cabs are the easier option (but make sure you get one from the rank outside, not from anyone who approaches you) as the fares are set from each of the 3 airports into Manhattan but you can also get 'shuttle' buses that drop off at places like Grand Central.

We're going for the first time in May and we'll be getting a cab, I think that'll be best first time around for sure - don't want to get lost on my first day!

Hi I stayed at the Comfort Inn in 1999, a really nice hotel, it is opposite the Metro which I stayed in, in 2000 and not as nice.

The staff at the Comfort Inn are very friendly, you are in a great location too.

We went in a small mini bus, from the airport to our hotel.
If you travel in rush hour, you can get stuck in traffic :?
We went with Virgin both times.

Try Keens Steakhouse :D

There was a great pub on the same road as the hotel, and a small shop to buy sweets, sandwiches, booze etc... open late too :?

Have fun!

Hi,

Went to NYC in March 2005, flew into Newark airport and got a train to Penn Station in Manhattan - quick, easy and cheap (can't remember how much it was now though, been a couple of years ;-)
What a great city - we had a fantastic time (froze our nuts off tho - below zero all the time we were there, although sunny blue skies every day!)

Hope this helps,
Susie
