Newark Liberty International Airport

by Ewingjr98

16 miles from Manhattan sits the Newark Airport, one of three major international airports serving NYC. Newark has to be one of the worst airports I have used for numerous reasons. One, it is so congested with air traffic delays are inevitable--about 20% of all flights are late (most of these due to weather). Two, it is built in the middle of a mess of major highways, so automobile traffic is insane when getting in or out... and good luck returning your rental car in this mess! Three, it is a major hub of Continental Airlines, one of my least favorite air carriers in the world.According to AvoidDelays.com, Newark is the worst airport in the nation for most delayed arrivals and second worst for most delayed departures.- Percentage of total flights that are delayed arriving into Newark for December 2005 41.8%- Percentage of total flights that are delayed departing from Newark for December...

From NY to NJ

by johngayton

Getting to New Jersey from New York can be easily achieved by both bus and train, depending on where you need to go. The NJ Transit system is quite well integrated with bus connections from most rail stations both within New York and over in New Jersey itself.During my visit I went from the Port Authority Bus Terminal on 42nd St with the intention of getting off at the North Bergen Park and Ride which should have left me with a 2-3 minute walk to my hotel. Unfortunately the North Bergen Park and Ride wasn't labelled as such and asking the driver about the whereabouts of my hotel didn't yield any information and so I stayed on the bus until it reached its final destination. There were several hotels around but none of which were mine. This is nothing new for me, I always get lost when I think I know where I am going!!! The solution was actually quite easy: I just went into the nearest...

Flying to Newark

by toonsarah

We decided that flying to Newark rather than JFK or La Guardia would make most sense for our combined New York and New Jersey trip, as lying to the south of the city it would be more convenient for driving both too and from our destinations in New Jersey, and it proved to be a good choice. We went with Continental from London Gatwick (although slightly oddly, and conveniently for us, returned to Heathrow). Both flights went smoothly, arriving ahead of schedule on both occasions (something Continental apparently pride themselves on). The service was pleasant, the meals instantly forgettable and the planes modern and reasonably comfortable – and travelling economy we’ve learned not to expect anything more than this!Newark seemed to be a well-organised airport, apart from rather lengthy queues when we checked in for our return flight – the baggage conveyor had broken down which is some...

Delaware Memorial Bridge

by tpangelinan

This bridge connects Delaware to New Jersey toward the southern end of New Jersey. The Delaware Memorial Bridge is a memorial to the soldiers who gave their lives in World War II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam & Operation Desert Storm. Take this bridge over to New Jersey to get to Pennsville on the other side, and if you follow Route 40 it will take you to Cowtown and all the way to the beach.

Philadelphia to Camden Waterfront

by PR-7

A too-often overlooked pleasure of a visit to Philadelphia is the Camden Waterfront, where you will find an excellent aquarium, a World War Two battleship, a minor-league ballpark, venues for entertainment, a children's garden, and great views of the Philly skyline. Whether anywhere else in Camden is worth a visit can be debated, but the Waterfront is both safe and worth a trip. If you are in Philly and want to get there, you have several options:1) walk across the Ben Franklin Bridge. Completely free and legal during daylight hours, but you must provide the feet needed to do so.2) drive over the Ben Franklin Bridge, exit on the right immediately after you cross, then follow signs. Depending on the space and event, parking can be $5 to $20 (the latter for big music events). It's free to go into NJ across the Franklin, but it costs $4 to leave. This is not recommended during rush hour or...

Shuttle Bus between Philly and Camden Waterfront

by PR-7

If you are visiting Philadelphia and wish to see the Camden Waterfront (HIGHLY recommended) during the day, the best way to do so is via a shuttle bus between the Philadelphia Visitor Center (500 Market Street, across from Independence Hall) and the Adventure Aquarium. Cost is $2 per person, round-trip -- less than the cost of tolls and parking a car, and someone else does the driving. The first bus leaves at 10:30, the last bus returns to Philly at 6:15 -- in other words, it is NOT for late night events in Camden.Buy tickets inside the Visitor Center -- you can NOT buy them on the bus. As this is not affiliated with the National Park Service, NPS Rangers do not sell these bus tickets, but they will point you to the people who will. You pay cash only. The pickup area is on Market Street, right outside the Visitor Center, and has a sign at the place. Several buses stop here, but the one...

Pumping Gas Not Allowed

by msbrandysue

So, just in case you're like me and have never been up north...in New Jersey you cannot pump your own gas. It's interesting. Crazy, even. You give the attendant your credit card, tell him to fill it up or so and then he does everything for you. You stay in your car. If you need anything from the convenience store you go park in front of that and get your stuff, use the bathroom, etc.

The Turnpike

by msbrandysue

I-95 goes from Maine south to Florida. It's LONG. But, in New Jersey, it's called the Jersey Turnpike. And you best know where you're going because you can only get on and off every 10-20 miles. And... it costs a boat load of money to drive on. I drove almost all of the turnpike and it cost about $10.

Driving in New Jersey

by toonsarah

After a week spent in Manhattan, we rented a car for our week in New Jersey. We picked up the Hertz car, a Ford Fusion, from Newark Liberty Airport, having pre-booked it on a special deal through Expedia (£158 for 8 days all in). The rental office was on the airport and easily reached by the free monorail, the Airtrain, and the whole process was handled very quickly and efficiently so we were soon on our way.We’ve done a lot of driving in the US now but found the roads in the more built-up parts of the state among the most challenging we’ve experienced. Lots of lanes, packed with cars whose drivers all had a much better idea than we did where they were going and were much less courteous (sorry New Jersey-ites!) than those in other parts of the country. Poor sign-posting around the airport and heavy rain the day we drove back to it didn’t help either, and nor did our lack of experience of...

from NY to Newark Airport

by LFChachere

A good and inexpensive trick to get to Newark airport quickly from Manhattan is to combine public transportation with a short cab ride. Take the PATH train, $1.50, which has several stops running from 9th St. to 34th St. along 6th Avenue .. to the end of the line in New Jersey, which drops you off at Newark Penn station. From Newark Penn station, exit on the west side and catch a taxi cab for a short 10-20 minute ride (depending on traffic) which costs about $12This is much cheaper than taking a cab all the way from Manhattan, which could run about $70, as you need to pay the $6 toll the cab pays returning to NYC, as well as an across state line surcharge: NYC and NJ have laws which prohibit cabs from picking up passengers in the other state, so part of the charge compensates the driver for returning in the other direction (doubling the cab traffic, so much for the government's fight...
