Cranford-new york
Hi All,
We hope to be spending some time in Cranford, New Jersey soon and would like to visit New york a couple of times. How easy is to get into New York? Does the subway or commuter trains go there or is it best to drive (don't laugh). Many thanks Ferret |

Cranford-new york
NJ Transit has commuter trains from Cranford to Penn Station in NY.
Trip is about 45 minutes. Service is hourly or better. http://www.njtransit.com/sf_tr.shtml Buses get stuck in traffic so the train is definitely the best bet. dumbo wrote: Hi All, We hope to be spending some time in Cranford, New Jersey soon and would like to visit New york a couple of times.

Cranford-new york
As one who lives in Cranford, my experience has been that the NJ Transit
trains run to Penn Station in Newark, NJ. You must transfer to another train to complete the trip into Penn Station NYC. Admittedly, I haven't taken the train lately. It might be that the train goes through to NYC now. It would probably be a good idea to check stops. If indeed you still need to change trains at Penn Station, Newark NJ the OP can avoid this by catching the NJ Transit train from Linden, NJ train station. That one has traditionally gone through to NYC. Take Centennial Avenue over the Garden State Parkway. Go straight ahead. When you pass the brick St John the Apostle church on your right at the next traffic light turn left. This will put you on Styles Street. Follow this past the Pathmark supermarket on your right. After you go under the train trestle, take a left at the light. This will bring you to one of the parking areas of the Linden Train station. The station itself is on Wood Avenue across the street from a sports bar. You can get bus and train schedules at the Cranford Public Library. The library is located on Walnut Avenue and is connected to the Cranford Community Center. You can't miss it. It's a big brick complex. While in town you may want to try: Marino's Seafood Market on North Avenue, Garlic Rose on North Avenue, and the Rustic Mill Diner. -- ____ Brian M.
