getting to NYC

Hi there! I am hoping someone out there can help me out, with what I assume is an easy question for any new yorker to answer!

I am going to be in NJ for one night (Morris Plains), then going into NYC (Times Square) for a few nights after.

I have looked at several websites (NJ Transit and PATH), and it seems there a so many options in getting to the city. What I am looking for is the best way to do it! I would like to avoid the bus, as I am not a big fan of bus rides, but I am very open to any other transportation.

Can someone please suggest the best way to get from one place to the other?

any other tips for a first timer in NYC would be appreciated!

I answered your question on this in the NJ forum. As I wrote there, there is a NJ Transit train station right in Morris Plains. There are no other options other than possibly bus which you don%26#39;t want. Or you can rent a car.

Subways do not run out to NJ. The PATH do not run out as far west as Morris Plains as their website www.pathrail.com shows.

I know you did, and thank you. I was just posting here to see if anyone else had any ideas.

thank you again

you probably don%26#39;t realize that Morris Plains is quite is about 45 minutes by car from Manhattan

while most New Yorkers won%26#39;t have reason to go out to Morris Plains the reverse is more likely to be true since many people who live in NJ commute to Manhattan for work every day
