STPA 2007 - Getting Here
The conference will be taking place at NYU’s Kimmel Center, located at 60 Washington Square South, New York, NY 10012, on the south side of the park.
The main NYU campus is located around at Washington
Square Park
on the island and borough of Manhattan in Greenwich Village neighborhood. Below are directions for
getting to NYU and links to useful maps.
By Plane
There are three major airports serving New York City - La Guardia (LGA), Kennedy
(JFK), or Newark (EWR) airports. From the airport you have a number of options
to get into the city including private shuttle buses, taxis, car services, or
public transit.
If you take a shuttle bus, you will want to go to Port
Authority Bus Terminal or Grand Central Station. From Port Authority, take the
A or E subway downtown to West Fourth Street-Washington Square Station, or from
Grand Central, take the Lexington
Avenue subway (No. 6 train) downtown to Astor
Place Station.
Cabs are available at all airports and, even though they
cost more, they are your best bet if you have a lot of luggage. Plan on
spending at least $35 to $50 depending on the airport and time of day. At the
airport, only take official yellow taxis from taxi stands – drivers offering
you a ride inside the airport are operating illegal and unregulated services
and may significantly overcharge you.
To arrange a car service in advance, call CARmel at 900-9CARMEL, Dial7 at 212-777-777,
or one of the dozens of other car services available. Your hotel can also
arrange a car service for you in advance.

Transportation Authority or New Jersey Transit below to see public bus and
subway alternatives to get into Manhattan.
