Planes: John F. Kennedy or LaGuardia Airports are the closest airports. Newark Airport also works (but requires a bit more transportation to get to the hotel).

LaGuardia: our personal fave (Terminal B has an excellent water show that even adults (ahem, Deirdre) love!). Uber, Lyft, and Taxis are an easy transport option from there. To take public transport - take the free LaGuardia Link Q70 shuttle bus to the Jackson Heights -Roosevelt Avenue/74 St-Broadway subway stop (runs every 8-10 minutes). From there, hop on the F or R trains towards Manhattan, getting off at Jay Street-MetroTech or Court Street.

JFK: Uber, Lyft, and Taxis are an easy option to bring you into the city. For public transport, take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station and then hop a LIRR train to Atlantic Terminal. Once you arrive, you can either walk to your hotel (~20 minutes) or take a 2 or 3 Manhattan bound train directly next to the LIRR entrance 3 stops to Borough Hall station.

Newark: Uber, Lyft, or a Taxi also work from Newark and will streamline traveling into the city. For public transit enthusiasts - take the AirTrain to the NJ Transit station (remembering to buy a NJ Transit ticket when you get there) and hop on a New York Penn station-bound train. From Penn Station, take the 2, 3, A, or C line downtown to the Borough Hall (2/3) or Jay Street-MetroTech (A/C) stops!
