Something to Green (Grin) About

I just finished a three-day conference in midtown Manhattan today that started Friday and went through over the weekend.

It was always gratifying to visit the City this time of the year to see it myself and watched visitors looking up those tall buildings and fancy billboards, not looking at their foot steps as they strolled the streets of Manhattan. :)

I decided to commute to the City by light rail train in Newark and the Path train from Penn Station, Newark to Penn Station on 33rd St, Manhattan by Broadway.

It cost me 24 cents to a mile!...and less greenhouse effect!

I was proud of it.

The Penn Station, Newark, NJ

If you plan to visit the City on a weekend and you happen to be in the Jersey side, I recommend to drive to Penn Station in Newark via state route 21, left onto Edison Place if travelling south or right onto Edison Place if travelling north. Then, left onto the first narrow street, Alling St. The parking is on the right, under the railroad of Penn Station (corner of Alling St and Market St).

It charges a flat rate of 8 bucks all day/night. Despite his thick accent, the parking attendant will greet you with a friendly smile. It will make you feel easy.

The Penn Station is a few walking distance.

The Station has been restored. It has the retro look.

You can take the Path or NJ Train system.

And, it is SAFE place.

It has changed.
