Ok.. This is for parties interested in visiting me in New Jersey.

I live in Jersey City, NJ which is approx. 12 minutes from New York according to the Path train schedule.
Local Airports:
– LGA: LaGuardia: Cheapest airport from New Orleans. I’m pretty sure it is the cheapest airport from all major airports.* Not horrible public transportation, but also not the easiest.
– EWR: Best location available, but also expensive to fly into. Easiest transportation available.
– JFK: JFK: Internationally known, worst possible airport to fly into. Worst possible location for public transportation. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

So those are the airport descriptions.

Directions:
– LGA: http://www.panynj.gov/aviation/lgtsfram.htm This lists all the possible exits from LGA. I suggest finding a way to either the World Trade Center or Penn Station. Once there, go through the PATH subway/train system to Journal Square. Get off at Journal Square and we are approximately 3 blocks walk away.

– EWR: Two options:
——– Cab: Literally a 10 minute cab ride away, according to Mary but costs around 25$.
——– Public transportation: This requires two train switches. (Approx. 35-45 minutes during daytime hours.)
————– Take the New Jersey Transit train from the airport to Newark Penn Station.
————– From Newark take the path train to Journal Square.

– JFK: Two options: http://www.panynj.gov/aviation/jgtsfram.htm Good luck. You will need subway information if you take the NYC subway system. JFK isn’t impossible, it just requires a lot of switching for public transportation. A friend of mine got charged 50+ for a cab to take him from JFK to the World Trade Center so, I don’t recommend this route unless it is seriously cheaper.
