Get in

Traveling to New York City from out of state? No worries, we've got you covered! Instead of dealing with the stress and expenses of driving, we recommend taking a bus or train for a seamless journey into the city. If you choose to take the train, Amtrak offers frequent service to Penn Station. Although the tickets can be a bit pricey, around $50 or more, especially if purchased last minute, the ride is comfortable, and you'll arrive right in the heart of New York. Another option for those coming from Jersey City is the PATH, a convenient subway system that connects Hoboken to various subway locations in Manhattan, including one near Brooklyn Heights. For those on a budget, taking a bus is a great option. Chinatown is the place to find affordable bus companies such as Lucky Star and Megabus. These tickets are usually quite cheap, especially if purchased well in advance. Even last-minute tickets rarely exceed $30. Once you arrive at either Penn Station or Chinatown, your next step is to find a 2/3 or an A/C subway station. To make it easier for you, you can use the website www.HopStop.com, which provides travel information for buses and other modes of public transportation in almost any city across the country. Once you board the subway, depending on your destination, you'll want to get off at either Clark Street (on the 2/3 line) or High Street (A/C line). Looking for a more scenic route to Brooklyn Heights? Why not take a walk across the famed Brooklyn Bridge? You can easily reach it by taking the 2/3 subway to Fulton Street in Manhattan, then walking a couple of blocks. Another option is to take the 4/5/6 subway, with a station entry/exit conveniently located in front of Pace University. Walking the bridge allows you to enjoy breathtaking views, and it leads you right to the meeting point of Henry Street and Adams Street in Brooklyn Heights.
