I m planning a trip to NY city, anyone know any good hotels in NY, or in NJ-- closer towards NY city? If I stay in New Jersey, how long will it take me to get to times square or JFK airport? Does the New york water taxi stop in New Jersey?

Answer 1 :
The last ferry between Manhattan and New Jersey stopped running back around World War 2. Water taxis aren't available either. Jersey City and Hoboken are close to NYC if you use the PATH train, should take about ten minutes travel time from either. Add another ten minutes to get from the PATH station at 33 Street to Times Square. JFK is another matter. That trip is at least 45 minutes on a good day from midtown, and as a realistic matter expect 75 minutes.
Answer 2 :
Hi, there are several ferry routes to the city, some go downtown and others midtown. If you take the ferry to midtown, you are within minutes of Times Square. JFK Airport would require you to take a cab or the subway (Train to the Plane) which you could get at Times Square. Consider the ferry to Belford or Atlantic Highlands for a visit to the NJ shore area. Hope this helps. Barb
