Getting to New York
Address
New York City, NY, United States
Subway
Subway — The MTA subway system is the quickest way to navigate between neighborhoods. Key lines cover Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and parts of Staten Island. A single ride is $2.90, payable via MetroCard or the OMNY contactless system.
Bus
The MTA bus network spans all five boroughs with more than 300 routes. Stops are identified by blue signs. Fares mirror the subway at $2.90. Express bus services reach outlying areas at a slightly higher rate.
Taxi
New York's legendary yellow cabs are ubiquitous in Manhattan. The base fare is $3.00 with an additional $0.70 per one-fifth mile. A fixed rate of $70 applies for trips to/from JFK Airport (tolls and gratuity separate). All cabs accept card payments.
On foot
Manhattan lends itself surprisingly well to walking. From Times Square to the southern edge of Central Park takes roughly ten minutes. From the Brooklyn Bridge to the heart of the Financial District is just a five-minute stroll. On foot is often the best way to soak up each neighborhood's character.
