how much is a taxi ride from Penn Station to Meadowlands?

[grasswire]

Can anyone tell me?

Or any other info on the best way to get from the station to the hotels near Meadowlands convention center on Wednesday evening?

Thanks in advance!!

1. Practice, practice, practice

Oh wait, that's the best way to get to Carnegie Hall.

Nevermind.

2. Probably a lot. Here's the way by train

5. silly question here

Is the meadowlands expo center the same thing as the meadowlands sports center?

Thanks for that link. Boy, this is really confusing.

8. They're all kind of clumped together. nt

10. I don't think so but here's directions at the Expo Center web site

http://www.mecexpo.com/directions.html
They say that there's service to the Expo Center from Port Authority in NYC.

Do a Google map search for <port authority, new york city>. I did it but the url was so long and it got screwed up when I tried to post it here. There will be a pointer "A" that pinpoints the location of the Port Authority Bus Terminal located at 625 8th Avenue in NYC. You can get a bus there that will drop you off at the door of the Expo Center per the Center's web site above.

I hope this helps.

3. Why would you?

6. I'm not the traveler

Just trying to do the research for someone else. I'm 3,000 miles away with Internet. He's on Amtrak.

7. Then he's perfectly situated to take the train to the Meadowlands.Trains don't get stuck in traffic.

[grasswire]

9. but the train he's on is going to Penn Station NYC

And now it appears there is a Penn Station NJ and one in NYC. !

11. His train ticket should say which one he's going to

If he's going to the one in NYC, then he'll land near the Port Authority bus station. He could get a cab, it's only 9 blocks.

Penn Station is at 8th Avenue and 33rd St.
Port Authority is at 8th Avenue and 42nd St.

13. okay, that's good to know

I couldn't figure out how far Penn Station NYC is from Port Authority bus station. Now I know.

How much snow is on the ground? He's fully loaded with baggage, going to convention.

15. I don't know about the snow

I'm in Colorado. Stop laughing! But I grew up in NYC.

12. There's a Penn Station almost everywhere. Amtrak is the ruins of the old Pennsylvania RR.

I'm pretty sure there's a set fee for all cabs. At least there was one for Newark Airport. You could probably email any NYC hotel and ask.

Meadowlands Exposition Center directions, if they haven't already been posted: http://www.mecexpo.com/directions.html
