About What is the best way to get from Newark to Lower Manhattan

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!!

Answer 1 :
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
Answer 2 :
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

About How easy is it to get a temporary clerical or customer service job in the Newark, DE area

How easy is it to get a temporary clerical or customer service job in the Newark, DE area?
I'm moving to the area in 2 weeks and can't do a long-distance job search (I live 2 hours away and work insane hours). My husband of 1 week is a student at the University of Delaware and had an apartment in the college's family housing practically thrown at him today. He jumped on it, so SURPRISE I'm moving to Newark on the 8th! Not a bad thing (we live near Dover DE, one of the most boring places on the planet and horrible to find a decent job in) so I'm glad to get out. I'm currently working as a department manager in a warehouse store so I have a lot of CS experience. I also have a lot of computer skills. I want to know how long to expect before getting an assignment through one of the temp agencies. I have a solid work history and I'm no slouch either. I can afford to be out of work for a month or 2 but still, I go crazy without work!

Answer 1 :
Well I grew up in Newark, DE but haven't been there for awhile....although I hear the jobs are plentiful. Unfortunatly most companies go through temp. agencies to hire thier employees so I suggest you start there. I'm sure you will have no trouble getting a job in that area. By the way, I grew up on Cleveland Ave. which is right downtown. Its changed a lot since I was a kid but its still a pretty neat place to live. Good luck and God Bless
Answer 2 :
I used to live in Newark. It really isn't bad finding work there. Most of the temp jobs are with the big credit card banks. If you have customer service and computer skills, you might be better off applying at the banks directly because the benefits are better. There are plenty of other temp jobs in that area and don't rule out Wilmington. It's a little bit of a drive but there are buses running frequently until about 10 pm. Good luck in the job search and congrats on the marriage.
Answer 3 :
Greetings from A small tourist community on the Oregon Coast. I may live across the country but I have secured employment recently. I will share internet stuff so that you can start your search from the comfort of your current community. First try Americas Job Bank, And YAHOO Jobs with both you simply plug in the zip code or the name of the town your seeking employment in. Most banks have on line application processes. With heavy customer service back ground you could seek a bank job. Another source would be the college... check out their web site and click on employment ... pull up the local yellow pages on line... and then explore from there for web sites a lot of businesses list their web sites. Look for the local paper on line.. again this can be accomplished thru yahoo. and your states employment/ unemployment either the local office or their web site for the state... I did a total change of direction using my skills but applying them to a new direction.. I had over 20 yrs of customer service with sales or in a restaraunt setting... Now I am a receptionist... ok this is how I did it I described my former positons with one I was a hostess ( my second job was only suspose to last a few months it ended up 6 yrs) you were the first person of contact, both on the phone and in person hummm... basically the same thing.. but now I type and do some basic accounting and billing lol its not difficult they load more on each day.. I make more that I did at my last positon starting and I now have weekend off and I work a set schedule 6am- 3pm its a half hour drive each direction though ... but I have a great view of the columbia river and a great discount on fresh seafood... wholesale caught the same day .... yummm good luck and congradulations from a newly wed .....also the banks would have medical benifits that you might need for an unexpected illness or pregnacny... best wishes with the job search and in your new life with your husband...
Answer 4 :
you can try the temp agenices and also the regular employment agencies, for a fee they will find a good job for you and they usually let you make payments, since you have good work skills and management skills the regular employment agencies is your better bet, and they can also get you good benefits. temp agencies are ok for a minute but go for regular good paying jobs with a agency

About Is there a subway from Newark to JFK Interational AIrport? If not, what transportation options are there

Is there a subway from Newark to JFK Interational AIrport? If not, what transportation options are there?
My husband will be flying (pilot) out of JFK but there is no way that we can afford to live in NYC so we are looking at NJ for housing. We are trying to figure out our options on how he can get to work. How long would it be to drive to JFK from Newark? The only thing I have found so far as for transportation is an airport shuttle for $24. That would work for a last option because that would get expensive fast considering how much he will be going back and forth. Thanks!
New York City - 8 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
From Newark: Take NJ Transit commter train to Penn Station New York Then take the NYC Transit "A" Train from Penn Station to Howard Beach Then take the AirTrain from Howard Beach to JFK --the Airtrain stops at every JFK terminal. For the trip back home...just reverse the directions. If NJ Transit is not available, you can accomplish a similar thing by taking the New Jersey PATH train to 33rd street in New York, one block away from Penn Station. Then walk one block over to Penn Station and take the a train and proceed as above. Or take the PATH to WTC and get the A Train there. The NJ Transit ride from Newark is faster and more comfortable than the PATH. However the Path runs more frequently and runs 24 hours per day.
Answer 2 :
take the path from the newark penn station to the WTC station and then the subway from there to JFK. should cost you about $3.50 each way
Answer 3 :
Here's your option, if you want to go through with this. Take the PATH from Newark to World Trade. Walk to the A Train at the Chambers Street station and take that to JFK/Howard Beach. Take the Air Train into the airport. Say you leave Newark at 8AM. You get into WTC at 8:22. The A Train leaves Chambers Street around 8:27. Arrival at JFK/Howard Beach is about 9:07. You'll be at your terminal before 9:30. Here's an alternate. Take NJ Transit to Penn Station Manhattan. You can get the E train to Archer Avenue and catch the Air Train to the terminal. By the way, if your husband is working at JFK, you wouldn't be living in Manhattan, you'd be living in Brooklyn, Queens, or Rockaway... some place closer to the airport than NYC.
Answer 4 :
I would look into other areas....besides Newark unless there is a specific reason you need to be connected to that airport also. Check out areas in Queens, Rockaway, and Brooklyn...there are some nice areas. By living in NJ you will end up paying tax to both NJ and NY which can also add up.
Answer 5 :
Try this website
Answer 6 :
I think your husband will get frustrated traveling from EWR to JFK. Personally, I wouldn't want to live anywhere near Newark. I think you should look into staying in Queens or on Long Island. It's a much easier commute to JFK
Answer 7 :
If your husband is flying into and out of JFK, I'd stay away from Newark. The drive is doable, but the Belt Parkway backs up all the time, and the times driving can heavily vary, plus theres $15 in tolls as an average. I frequently go from NJ to LI to visit friends, and I spend that amount ($6 on the inbound Outerbridge, and $9 on the Staten Island bound Verrazano) every time I go back and forth. Newark isnt exactly the safest place to live, but if you really want to, than what has already been said, PATH to WTC to the A, to the Airtrain, is probably his best bet. The other way is possible, but there are always the threat of transit delays going into Penn Station, NY. There was one this morning, and it made everyone at least 20 minutes late for work if not more.
Answer 8 :
An option slightly faster than the above would be NJ Transit train to Penn Station, walk across the station to Long Island Railroad, and take that two stops to Jamaica (where you can get the "AirTrain" monorail to the JFK Terminals). I think this would quickly get to be a frustrating commute. If your hubby as a pilot needs to be at JFK early in the morning or at other non-rush times, the train schedules may not work well for him. Living in the other direction (Long Island) seems like a better alternative if your main goal is affordable housing close to JFK

Go to Penn Station, Manhattan from whatever neighborhood in Queens you live) and take the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor or North Jersey Coast Line for $5 into Newark Penn Station (there are also monthly passes available). You can also take the PATH from 33rd Street to Grove Street and transfer to the train to Newark. (That train also leaves from the World Trade Center station in Lower Manhattan). This is slower, but costs $1.75. Hope this helps.

How much salary does a special-ed teacher make if they have been working for 20 yrs in Newark,NJ.?
I was told by someone that they saw a pay check from a teacher and it was a huge amount of money .
Special Education - 5 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
did they mean huge as in 1200 a month or huge as in 4600 a month? Or was it like "20,000" and that would mean that the teacher chose to get payed in one big lump for the year...dunno
Answer 2 :
yeah, Newark is ghetto the ghetto schools have lots of violence, so people are afraid to teach there, so they pay good to attract teahcers and special ed makes even MORE special ed in the ghetto... BLING BLING BABY!!!!!1
Answer 3 :
Hello, I work in Newark...in the Special Education Department...the Child Study Team. It is possible that a teacher working for 20 consistent years to make salaries between 70-90K. You can send me an email directly and I will let you know as per the current contract as well. I don't have it right now. Yes, Newark is an Urban district and there are many problems, but we also have MANY things in Newark to be proud of. It is unfortunate that those outside of Newark only see the bad accounts of the violence that occurs here and not the wonderful good news that happens every day. We have several magnet, or gifted and talented schools; and all of our high schools have academies directed towards specific vocations or professions of interest to give our youth a head start in their college studies. Peace!
Answer 4 :
I have worked in Newark school system and it is not all that bad. I have seen more violence in rural or suburban schools in NJ than in Newark. Newark is an Abbott school district which means that the state of NJ runs the school district and pays through the nose of the district to run. If you want to know more about Abbott school district go to the following link: http://www.edlawcenter.org/ELCPublic/AbbottvBurke/AbbottHistory.htm To learn more about the salaries from the Newark school district, you would go to the Newark school district http://www.nps.k12.nj.us/hrsfaq.html or the NJ Dept of Education has a list of salaries for specific districts. The average starting salary in 2006 was $40,000; it can increase with your experience and degrees. There are teachers making $80,000 in Newark and in other districts. The administrators can make a $100,000 and upwards. Remember NJ is different than most states. NJ is home rule. Each teacher union builds their own contracts and demands. Salaries can range from district to district. Having a special education degree is no different than having a regular education degree because you all start on the same pay scale. The more credits you have toward a masters or advanced degree the more you are paid. But there is a cap on the salaries of what you will be paid. The more years you are in the more you make but it stops at a specific cap. The benefit for working in an urban district like Newark is that they have ample professional development including college courses. The students are respectful when you respect them. The teachers support each other. The downfall to working in a district like Newark is that there are tons of mandates from the state. The lack of parental input or support for the majority of the students. I also found that because of the mandates there was no consistency in the teaching methods used with the students from year to year. The other difficulties are often the language barriers. It is a stressful job. Because you are in a inner city location you often struggle with : students being hungry, abuse, students that don’t attend school on a regular basis, homelessness, drugs and the other issues. .

You will report all your income for the year to New Jersey on a New Jersey resident tax return. You will probably have a balance due. You can file a nonresident tax return to Massachusetts and on it put down that you had no Massachusetts wages or income. Your tax liability will be zero to MA and you will be owed a full refund of your state income tax withholding. A note should be added to your MA return explaining that you moved in December 2007 from MA to NJ and that your employer was late in updating your address and so some of your wages were erroneously ascribed to MA in 2008.

Answer 1 :
I am not familiar with the details of Newark, but from what I understand there are some pretty rough sections, so you'll want advice from the people you're working with. One thing I can tell you about is that there is definitely public transportation into NYC. There are a couple of different options, but there are trains from Newark right into the heart of Manhattan via Penn Station.
Answer 2 :
I worked and travelled through Newark for years. Newark is not a great place to be at night. They do have the greatest Portuguese restaurants in the entire USA, but if you are going to be there a month and you decide to stay in Newark, you'll be in your hotel room at night fall or earlier. Here is what I would do if I were you. Stay at the Gateway Hilton in Newark. I assume you'll be working somewhere near the Gateway Center, so its easy to get to and from work. You are walking distance and all enclosed to the train station to quickly jump a train (15 minutes or less) into New York City (take NJ Transit for mid-town, PATH for downtown). You can then jump a train back to Newark Penn Station from NY and not even have to go outside to get back to the Hotel. In Newark, you should try to get to some of the restaurants as well as there is a minor league baseball team (newark bears) if you like to take in a game. Highly suggest not wandering the streets of Newark. Its not the safest place to be if you aren't familiar with the area!

I know many people have asked this question already, but answers to those questions have to do primarily with the campus life and the fact that many applicant apply for the New Brunswick campus (hence, more favorable answers toward NB). My question is which Rutgers Business School is better in terms of job prospect and academically? I know that Rutgers-New Brunswick has better things to substantiate the view of the New Brunswick Business School (bigger, dorms, life, and larger applicant body), but does all this matter when you are looking for a job? From what I hear, Newark is easier to get into, but it has some same professors as New Brunswick. Lets say somebody graduated with a 3.5 at Newark. Is that the same as 3.5 from New Brunswick? After all, the two business schools are the same. The reason I'm asking is because I work near Newark but live close to New Brunswick. I'll be applying for them in a year or so. Honest and non-bias answers are greatly appreciate.

Umm yeah the words "Newark" and "safe" should not be used in the same sentence. Camden, Trenton and Newark all made the top 25 Most Dangerous Cities list: http://www.morganquitno.com/cit07pop.htm
Answer 2 :
Well I live in New Jersey. Newark I'm not so sure about but South Orange is a nice little town. Yeah you can take the NJ Transit to NYC. What I suggest (for both NY and NJ is to just research the area on the internet). NYC is so huge. Just walk out of the subway and there's stuff to do. Hey thats kinda cool I know a kid from Louisville, KY. We go to the same college!
Answer 3 :
I agree with the first guy. I hope this job pays well. Please be careful, always have something you could use for protection and a cell phone. Study local street maps to become familiar with your surroundings

Answer 1 :
The main district where most of the big companies are located isn't too bad, but don't wander far.
Answer 2 :
I worked in Elizabeth, NJ for almost 3 years. When I started I was nervous about the area, but after a short time I realized that it's actually not so bad. I was actually looking at houses in Newark until I was laid off. There are good and bad areas all over. Newark is the same. Any of the business districts will be fine. If I was you I'd take a test commute there a couple times. Go once during morning rush and once after the afternoon rush to check out the area, see who's around, etc. I really doubt you'd have a problem, but if you're not comfortable you won't get much out of your internship
