JESUS,family,rutgers Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 For those of you coming to the New Jersey/New York City area for the Sioux basketball game against the New Jersey Institute of Technology this Winter,here is some info. and websites that should be helpful. Newark Liberty Airport is about ten miles from the NJIT campus which is about one mile from downtown Newark. You should give yourself AT LEAST one hour due to traffic. If you are looking for reasonable hotel prices,the town of Parsippany is only about 30 minutes from the campus and has a wide variety. Newark has a very nice museum,two concert halls--Newark Symphony Hall and NJPAC, and the Prudential Center which is where the New Jersey Devils(including Zajac and Parise) play. PLEASE be careful about where you walk around the city--it is not Grand Forks,but it is not as bad as it was in the 60's. Maybe Minneapolis and Saint Paul have some rough areas too. Just be smart and alert and you should be fine. The follwowing are some websites with more information-- www.njit.edu www.njithighlanders.com www.vistnj.org www.newjerseybeautiful.com www.aboutnewjersey.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the train go from that area down into the city or do we need to find a hotel down in the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESUS,family,rutgers Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I almost never fly,but I know there are shuttle busses to both downtown Newark and New York City from Newark Liberty International Airport.Trains go between downtown Newark(right by the Prudential Center--New Jersey Devils Arena) and Manhattan,NYC. A few transportation sites to check out--- www.airtrainnewark.com www.njtransit.com www.amtrak.com www.panynj.gov Wish I could tell you more,but I am not a big city/mass transit guy. I probably belong in North Dakota more than the Northeast!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
