How to Get to Manhattan: All the Ways, Prices & Pitfalls of the Big Apple
Thinking of joining Manhattan? Whether it’s your first time in the city that never sleeps or your tenth nostalgic return for a slice of greasy pizza and street saxophones — this guide is your golden ticket.
We’ll break down every possible way to get to Manhattan (spoiler: teleportation still isn’t an option), plus what it’ll cost you — in dollars and patience.
✈️ Option 1: Fly Me to the Apple
Where you land matters. NYC is served by three main airports:
-
JFK – Big, international, and full of attitude
-
Newark (EWR) – Technically in New Jersey, but closer than you think
-
LaGuardia (LGA) – Closest to Manhattan, but least international
Sample fares from Tel Aviv (or Europe):
-
Direct flight: $800–$1,200
-
With layover: $500–$900
-
In low season (January–March): sometimes even $450
Pro tip:
Be flexible with dates and check flights via Istanbul, London, or Paris for significant savings.
🚖 Getting from the Airport to Manhattan
From JFK:
-
AirTrain + Subway: $10.75 — cheap, but good luck with your suitcase
-
Taxi or Uber: Around $70 (flat fare + tolls + tip)
-
Shared Shuttle: $20–$35
From Newark (EWR):
-
Train to Penn Station: $15–$20
-
Taxi/Uber: $80–$100
-
Shuttle: $25–$40
From LaGuardia:
-
Bus + Subway: $2.90 (if you’re feeling brave)
-
Taxi/Uber: $40–$60
Bottom line: Don’t assume “we’ll just figure it out when we land” — NYC airports are built to confuse tired travelers.
🚂 Option 2: Train Into Manhattan
If you’re already in the U.S., Amtrak will drop you straight into Penn Station in midtown.
-
From DC or Philly: $30–$60
-
From Boston: $80–$150
Bonus: Great views. No TSA drama.
Warning: Amtrak delays are as American as apple pie.
🚌 Option 3: Intercity Bus (a.k.a. Cheapskate Express)
Companies: Greyhound, FlixBus, Megabus
Prices: As low as $5 (seriously) to $50
From: Boston, Philly, Washington, even Toronto
Pros: Ridiculously cheap
Cons: Your knees might never forgive you
🚗 Option 4: Rent a Car – and Then Regret It
Why it sounds like a good idea: Freedom, playlists, your own space
Why it’s not:
-
Parking in Manhattan: $50–$80 per day
-
Traffic: Think Ayalon at 8 a.m., with more honking
Recommendation: Ditch the car outside the city and take a train or ferry in.
🦶 Option 5: Just Walk It (Once You’re In)
Once you’re in the city, walk!
Every block is a movie set, every corner a scene. Comfortable shoes are not optional — they’re survival gear.
⚠️ Tourist Traps to Avoid
-
Unlicensed cabs at the airport: If someone whispers “Private car, cheap price” — run.
-
Credit card foreign fees: Use travel-friendly cards or apps like Revolut
-
Times Square restaurants: If the waiter is waving you in off the sidewalk — don’t.
💡 TL;DR
Getting to Manhattan isn’t just logistics — it’s a rite of passage. Plan it right, budget for the ride, and keep your camera ready.
The city won’t wait for you — but it will blow your mind if you show up ready.
