NJ trip

[kitanzi]

As I've mentioned, I am going to NJ for a two week training course starting 3/14, so 3/18 (evening) to 3/20 I'm hoping to be able to go to NJ and see people. ACat is flying into La Guardia Friday and Maedbh7 is planning on going directly to NY also on a bus. I'm trying to figure out how to get from NJ to NY in such a way as to meet up with them and whoever else might be around and interested. The hotel website is useless, but the fact that they don't have an airport shuttle suggests they aren't close enough to the airport to make that a good mass transit jump on option and NJ Transit website doesn't seem to be helping me figure out what's anywhere near Morristown, which is where the hotel is. Do any of the local/localish people have advice or websites or resources? All help appreciated - plus it would be good to know where/when/who might be in the catherding plans for the weekend!

I'm not sure about getting around in NJ at this point without a car (though it appears there are several good suggestions upthread). A good resource for in-NY travel is the Metropolitan Transit Authority (http://www.mta.info) (with, among other things, maps for the subways and Long Island Railroad, and schedules for the latter).

Weekends are an interesting situation for me (us); my work schedule is Friday/Saturday 9P-9A, Sunday 7P-7A. However, I do live near the best Indian food in NYC (and possibly in the larger area); getting together for dinner one day (Friday?) prior to going to work is a possibility, if you're interested.

Well, hmm. I am not sure on the timing for dinner Friday, since as far as I can tell I'd probably be getting into NYC about the time (or shortly before) you have to go to work that day, between my work and the apparent transportation options.
