What is the best way to get from Newark to Lower Manhattan?
I have to go to lower Manhattan for business. Since hotels in NYC are so expensive, I plan to fly into Newark and stay at a hotel there. The site I need to be at for work is on Astor Place in lower manhattan. What is the best way to get there? I can rent a car if I want to, but I have never driven in NYC. Is there anywhere you can park a car and ride the subway outside of the city? Thanks in Advance!!

My friend, whatever you don't rent a car. The reason, driving in New York City is a pain and parking is expensive. The best way to get from Newark (the city or the airport) will be by public transit. If you're coming from Newark, you can take the PATH train, from Newark Penn Station to the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. Once you exit the WTC PATH train station, you can walk a block east to the corner of the Fulton Street and Broadway, where a transfer can be made to the #4 or 5 subway line (Green Line) of the New York City subway. Take either line going uptown (northbound) from Fulton Street to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall, where transfer can be made again to the uptown (northbound) #6 train (Green Line), which will take you from Brooklyn Bridge to Astor Place-Cooper Union. The fare on the PATH train is $1.75 one way ($3.50 round trip) and the fare on the subway is $2.25 one way ($4.50 round trip). If you're coming from Newark Airport, you can take the hotel's shuttle bus service from your hotel to the Newark Airtrain Station P4, which is the one of the airport's parking areas, and take the Newark Airtrain from there to Newark-Liberty International Airport station, where a connection can be made to NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor Line. Take the Northeast Corridor Line from Newark Airport to Newark Penn Station where a connection can be made to the PATH train. Follow the above directions from Newark Penn Station to Astor Place-Cooper Union. The one way fare on the NJ Transit from Newark Airport to Newark Penn Station, will cost you $7. I hope this information was very helpful. If you have any questions or need travel directions while in town, just drop me a line by clicking on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile. I'll be glad to help. Good luck Native New Yorker

There is no parking in NYC streets. If you think hotels are expensive, you should see the prices at the parking garages here. Take the shuttle from the airport, http://www.goairlinkshuttle.com
