Getting to

For full information on getting to New York by plane, train or taxi visit http://www.nycvisit.com/content/index.cfm?pagePkey=281

Please note that Newark Airport (EWR) in New Jersey is every bit as good an option as JFK for people flying into New York, and particularly for ICEL since everything's on the West Side. Taxi/car service trips from the airport are relatively convenient, and the train from Newark is also convenient--you'll get to Penn Station in 25 minutes.  JFK also has a train option to Penn Station, which is fairly new.
