Transportation Options
If you're staying in Jersey City, Newark International Airport (EWR) is your closest airport.
If you're staying in Manhattan, use code NYC when searching for flights to come up with the best prices for LaGuardia, JFK and Newark.
Taking Amtrak into Penn Station, and then either finding your way around the city in cabs, MTA or ride shares is a great option.
Using the PATH train to get back and forth from Jersey City to Manhattan is convenient.
**If you're staying in Manhattan, we recommend that you take the 15 minute ferry ride from the World Financial Center Terminal to Liberty Landing- it drops you directly in front of the venue! However, due to the schedule, you will depart World Financial Center Terminal at 2:45PM and arrive at 3PM (and make yourself comfortable at the venue's restaurant bar for a bit of time) or, you can take the 3:45PM ferry and arrive at 4PM. (We will aim to start the ceremony at 4:15PM.) Note, that the ferry stops running well before the event ends, so you should plan to take a hired car/train home from the event.

In general, we recommend you use the Google Maps "public transportation" option and www.mta.info to plan out your NY-area stay.
We also love using VIA rideshare app in the city. It's usually very convenient and much cheaper than Uber/Lyft (and supposedly they have more ethical practices). You can use Elaina's code to sign up and we both save money: elainav4q2
