AIRPORTS

We recommend flying into any of the three regional airports. You’ll want an Uber or taxi to get to Midtown. Plan on:

Laguardia = 30 minutes
Newark = 45 minutes
JFK = 1 hour

Getting Around

To get around New York City, you can (1) walk, (2) take the subway, or (3) take Uber/Lyft/Taxi.

To get around the subway, you can use apple pay or any “tap” enabled credit card - no need to stand in line for a transport card.

Exploring NYC

There’s more to see and do in NYC than you could ever do in a quick trip. So don’t worry about it - here are a few vetted places that we know you’ll love. We recommend using The Infatuation as a good starting point for exploring.

Coffee

  • Birch Coffee

  • Bird and Branch

  • St. Kilda’s

  • Joe’s Coffee

  • Rex

  • Afficionado Roasters

  • Rockefeller Center

  • Macy’s Store on Herald Square.

If you haven’t been to NYC in a while, an easy option is to head south down the west side and explore the new Hudson Yards complex.

  • Visit the new “Little Island” that was built on the Hudson River

  • Explore the Meatpacking District + Chelsea Market.
