Best way to New York?
« on: April 20, 2005, 03:34:00 pm »
Looks like I might have to make a few trips to Central Park this summer:
 
  Dinosaur Jr. / Broken Social Scene
 Thursday, July 14 - 4:30pm doors
 Tickets: $37.25 advance / $40 day of concert
 
  Death Cab for Cutie / The Decemberists / Stars
 Thursday, August 18th - 5:30 doors
 Tickets: $30 advance / $35 day of concert

I hear good things about the Chinatown bus. $35 r/t. Not sure of the web site though.

my favorite is the Dragon Coach, since it drops off in Herald Sq which is far more convenient than NY's chinatown.

chinatown buses are more likely to let you take a bike on if there's space.  greyhound is jerks about it.

Buddha, are you necessarily looking for the cheapest transport?  You can often find flights that are less than the train -- anywhere from $90-150.  If you fly in to Newark, there's an easy train in to Penn Station and take a cab or hop on the subway there.  If you fly in to LaGuardia, I think you have to take a taxi, which can be pricey depending on where you're going...

Thanks for posting that link! Vamoose Bus + room at the Chelsea Star (about a block from the drop-off) = inexpensive weekend spent in NYC  :D
