What's the best way to travel from the Newark Airport to the Crowne Plaza Times Square in Manhattan?
Taking a taxi is an obvious choice, but is there a cheaper way that is reasonable for a tourist? The trip will be in July and the flight will be arriving around 11PM.

Hey! You may want to try a van service. There are a few of them and most are $19 each way from the airport to your hotel. A taxi will cost many times that amount, plus tolls, tip, etc. Try Super-Shuttle or other such van service. I hope this helps!

My friend, the hotel is located at Broadway between West 47th and West 48th Street. The cheapest way to get there is by public transit. Here how to get to the Crowne Plaza Times Square from Newark Airport. Step 1: take the Airtrain from the terminal to the Newark-Liberty International Airport train station. Step 2: at the Newark-Liberty International Airport train station, purchase a one way NJ Transit ticket from EWR to Penn Station New York and take any New York City-bound (eastbound) train to Penn Station New York. A one way ticket on NJ Transit from EWR to New York Penn Station will cost you $15. Step 3: at Penn Station, transfer to the New York City Subway. Take the uptown (northbound) #1 local train (Red Line on the map) from Penn Station to 50th Street. The fare on the subway is $2 one way. Step 4: at 50th Street, exit the subway station and walk two and half block south (toward the TKTS Ticket Booth) from the subway station to the hotel, which is located on the west side of Broadway. I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck and happy travels Native New Yorker

1605 Broadway is near 49th Street. Of course, there are two options. FAST AND DIRECT WAY; Look for New Jersey Transit Ticket Vending Machine at your terminals, where you'll see list of station names and code next to it. Type the code for Penn Station. It cost $15 one way. Take Airtrain Newark to Newark Liberty Airport Station. Airtrain fee is encoded with $15 one way ticket. Then take NJ Transit to New York Penn Station. Weekdays: Last NJ Transit train schedule to arrive/depart 2:03am daily. Chepest way. Have $1.35 (Paper Money accepted) and wait for New Jersey Transit Bus marked "62 Newark" which stops at Terminal A, B, and C. Last 62 arrives/leaves 3:30am at Terminal A. Take #62 bus to last stop, Newark Penn Station. Follow sign to PATH train and paid $1.75 on PATH system and take World Trade Center train to Journal Sq for 33rd St Train. From Penn Station Take uptown (1) local on 7th Av side from 34th St-Penn Station to 50th St which is on Broadway side. Walk south on Broadway to one block, 49th St where you'll see Crown Plaza. From 33rd St-6th Av PATH Take Queens-bound N, Q, R, or W weekdays only to 49th St-7th Av.
