PATH Train is the fastest way to get into Manhattan
Load up a Metro card ($2.75/ride) and take the PATH towards "33rd Street" which runs right through West Village & Chelsea or the PATH towards "World Trade Center" to reach the Financial District.
Ungaphoswa
Don't miss the view from J Owen Grundy Park!
We love it equally on a clear day or when it lights up at night.

Parking is much easier in Jersey City!
One of the great benefits of traveling to Jersey City is it's much more manageable to drive and park your car. You will find plenty of street parking (oftentimes free near neighborhoods or metered by shops) around Grove Street, Newport and Hoboken!
