Flying into NYC--Newark?

Dre said
It will honestly be 2 hrs for that short drive? Thats what I was afraid of. the prices and timing into newark are so much better it isn't even funny. the biggest thing is trying to let my 2 year old nap. But if the drive is 2 hours from newark, that is crazy...google maps (which supposedly accounts for traffic) is saying 29 minutes, though.

the car is simply because we are going to shuttle my son around in Brooklyn, and he needs a car seat, so cabs are out. and the hotel, and wedding, and sister's house... i am not sure how subway friendly they all are.

29 minutes my left nu............nevermind.

It's not necessarily how subway friendly they are, it's a matter of how convenient they can be.

Short answer is that there are probably more strollers in brooklynnitself than any of 20 interior States put together

Gonon mta.org any get a sense of route maps
its true that Brooklyn heights is not as close tonsubway stops as most but that only means it might be 10 blocks which sounds lots longer than it is

But for real if you're not used to driving in nyc its MUCH safer to subway

I don't have kids, but I can imagine there must a billion places in Brroklyn for that. Sorry, but I can't help you on that factor.

If it is a 10 block walk, it could be an exciting 10 blocks. Too many variables to name, but suffice it to say that there is plenty to see along the way.

If you're in Manhattan at any time during this trip, I would recommend taking a bus sometimes because you can see more that way. Brooklyn too for that matter (if it's feasible of course).
