Which transport?

Can anyone recommened the best form of transport from Newark airport to the Belvedere Hotel.

We arrive at Newark at about 2pm on Friday 25th February. Will we hit rush hour if we get a coach??

We%26#39;d prefer not to get a taxi, in order to save some pennies!!

Which transport?

The Belvedere is on West 48th. This means you won%26#39;t have to fight crosstown traffic. You can take a bus from the airport through the Lincoln Tunnel to Port Authority (8th Avenue between 40th and 42nd). After that it%26#39;s a short walk to the hotel.

I never fly into Newark but I know there%26#39;s a train you can take from there into Manhattan. If you take a bus, don%26#39;t be too concerned about rush hour because even if you don%26#39;t get out of the airport until 3 pm, the rush goes primarily in the other direction, from NYC to New Jersey.

Which transport?

ah ha, very good point with teh traffic! Will opt for the coach, that way we get to see New York as we arrive!

Thank you!

Hi

My wife and I went to NYC in July last year. We landed on Newark and we took the train into Penn Station. From there we used a cab to get to our hotel (Hotel Thirty Thirty). I have posted more information about this in a trip report with pictures on my homepage http://gardkarlsen.com. Maybe you can find some useful information there :-)

I fly through Newark most of the time, prefer it to JFK, and the buses are very easy to find, inexpensive, $12.00 one way, $20.00 round trip, and fast. Keep in mind that if you buy a round trip you get a 25% discount on the double decker bus tours (keep your receipt).
