Sightseeing in New York city area
(1) Hoboken is conveniently located across Hudson River from Manhattan Island.
Castle Point on Hudson (by Howe Center) is famous for its great view of
Manhattan. First Street Park along the river has also a good view of the
buildings of downtown Manhattan.
(2) Getting to NYC:
To get to New York City, the easiest way is PATH train. Hoboken PATH station is
located at the end of Hoboken (please refer to Hoboken City map). Please see
Appendix C for a system map of PATH train and Schedule. Please be advised
that Weekend PATH route (dotted lines on the map) is different from the one on
Weekdays (solid lines on the map).
You may also get to NYC Port Authority (42 St. and 8th Ave.) via Bus 128 (The
closest bus stops is at 8th Street and Washington Street).
If you would like to enjoy the view of Hudson River on your way to NYC, you
may take the ferry. The ferry station located at 14th Street will take you to 39th
Street and 12th Ave. in NYC while the ferry station located by the PATH station
will take you to downtown NYC.
(3) There are a lot to see in New York City:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art: located at 5th Ave. and 81st St., General
Admission: suggested donation ~$20, but you may pay whatever you think is
appropriate; special exhibits must be paid separately.
American Museum of Natural History: located at 8th Ave. and 81st St.,
General Admission: suggested donation ~$17, but you may pay whatever you
think is appropriate; special exhibits must be paid separately)
Time Square: located around 7th Ave., Broadway and 42nd St. A lot to see
during the daytime, best to visit at night.
Empire State Building: located at 34th St. and 5th Ave., general admission to
observatory: $19. You may want to spare 3-4 hours to visit the observatory since
the lines will be long at ticketing, security check point and elevator. However,
you will have a very good view of Manhattan and surrounding area. If you time it
right, you may have both a day and night view of NYC.
Liberty Statue National Monument / Liberty Island/ Ellis Island: The ferry
to Liberty Island leaves from the ferry station in Liberty State Park in Jersey City
and from south ferry station Battery Park in Manhattan. General admission:
$13. If you plan to enter the monument, you have to reserve a free-of-charge
Monument Access ticket. Detailed information can be found at the following
link:

There may be many more places of interest to you. For more information, please
do not hesitate to ask one of the members of the local organizing committee.
