transportation from EWR to Affinia 50 hotel in new york

I am traveling with my family and going to New York for the first time. We know absolutely nothing about NYC transportation. How would be the best way to get from the EWR airport to the Affinia 50 Hotel located at 155 E 50th Street? Thanks for your recommendations

The best thing for you to do is start reading the Sticky / FAQs on the forum. This question is asked frequently throughout the day and all the answers are there.

Newark Airport is in New Jersey so you can not get a NYC taxi there. We strongly encourage people to avoid the Newark taxi%26#39;s. We also strongly encourage people to avoid Super Shuttle and AirLink.

The best thing to do is to prearrange a sedan through a reputable company that offers competitive rates. Two of the very best are All State and Dial 7. All State is www.allstatelimo.com and their direct dial is 212 333 3333. Dial 7 is www.dial7.com and their direct dial is 212 777 7777

The Newark AirTrain and the Olympia Trails bus from Newark both cost $15.00 per person and they aren%26#39;t door to door. They%26#39;re a great way to save money if you%26#39;re one or two people but if you have three or more you might as well take a sedan, particularly if you have no idea where you%26#39;re going.

The Affinia is a very good hotel, very well-situated. You%26#39;ll want to go to www.mta.info and familiarize yourself with the subway map. Your closest stations will be 51st Street on the 6 train (it is the green one) and Lexington Avenue on the E and V trains (blue and orange). Don%26#39;t ask people where the green trains or the blue and orange trains are, they%26#39;ll think you are being silly and they may think you%26#39;re crazy. I%26#39;m simply telling you what color they are on the map for your reference, nobody on the street will know the trains by color.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

dial7.com--is there one you would recommend?

My personal preference is All State. The reason I like All State is that I%26#39;ve always had a very new sedan and a very good driver. They%26#39;ve always been very professional and very reliable. I%26#39;ve found All State to be first class.

I%26#39;ve used Dial 7 too and I%26#39;ve never had a problem with them. I think some of their sedans are a little older and some of their drivers are just okay while I find All State a notch above.

You%26#39;ll be fine either way. If you want to know who I call when I call for a sedan, I call All State.

I like the train idea.
