Traveler advice
Getting around
The train is the fastest way to get to manhattan.
Leave your car in Hoboken. Trust me it is not worth it. I can tell you where to park it without having to pay.
Traveling with kids
Trains do have space for strollers
But be aware that most stations have staircases.
Ways to save
Sightsee in Manhattan, but get your booze in Hoboken
NJ has the cheapest gas in the country, and their cost of living is way lower. It may be wiser to get groceries and must haves in NJ.
Don't miss
Hudson Yards Sky View
Is now open to the public. MUST SEE
Book before you go
Hudson Yards Vessel
Unless you have tickets in advance, it is NOT worth the wait on line. Just my advice.
