Arriving from the Airport

If you have heavy luggage and are not familiar with New York, we advise taking a taxi or Uber from the airport. Below are public transit directions if you are up for an adventure!

La Guardia Airport

Follow signs from the terminal to Ground Transportation and catch the M-60 bus for which you must have the exact change, $2.75. Ride this city bus from the airport terminal to 125th Street and Lenox Avenue in Manhattan.  At 125th Street and Lenox Avenue, transfer from the bus to the Downtown 2 or 3 subway line, getting off at 72nd Street. This train costs another $2.75, however, if you purchase a metro card at the airport, you can transfer between bus and train for free. As you exit at 72nd Street and Broadway, walk one long block East to Columbus Avenue.  Turn left and walk up Columbus Avenue three blocks to 75th Street and turn right. 51 West 75th Street is the fourth building from the corner ,on the north side of the street, with brown steps going up to the door.

Newark New Jersey Liberty Airport

There are shuttle buses to 42nd St. Port Authority bus terminal.  Then take a taxi to 51 West 75th Street (approximately $10-12 including tip) or take the subway ($2.75/ride).  For subway, go downstairs in Port Authority bus terminal to the subway.  Purchase a metro card and take the ‘C’ train “Uptown” to 72nd Street. Exit onto Central Park West, and walk uptown three blocks to 75th Street. Turn left and walk to the end of the block.  51 West 75th Street is on the north side of the street with brown steps going up to the door.

JFK Airport

We recommend a taxi. It is a flat fare of $45-50. If you want to try public transportation you can ride the air train to Jamaica Center. Purchase a metro card at the air train station.  Transfer to the NYC subway and ‘scan’ your metro card in order to enter the subway station. Take the ‘E’ train toward Manhattan/WTC.  Get off at 50th Street and transfer to the “uptown” ‘C’ train. Get off at 72nd Street and exit onto Central Park West. Walk up three blocks to West 75th Street. Turn left and walk to the end of the block. Travel time is approximately 60-75 minutes from JFK to mid-Manhattan.
