Reply to comment by Chelseafc5505 in I’m staying in the Ironbound for the next 2 months. What do I do? by Brallagher

I’m bound to make it into NYC at some point. How is the train system? I’m used to DC metro. Inconsistent.

Super easy. Head down to Penn station, and you have a few options.

Can take NJ transit to Hoboken (tho more frequent out of Newark Broad st) NY Penn Station (mid town, smack in the middle of everything)

Or Path train, which can get you to Hoboken Jersey City Or multiple stops in NYC, from World Trade Center (downtown), all the way up to 33rd street (only a few blocks from NY Penn station)

Both can be absolutely painful and unreliable, but for the most part, you'll have one of them running fine. Occasionally both systems shit the bed and it's a massive clusterfuck

No problem.

Plenty to see in Newark, but definitely recommend you get out to Hoboken at least once(most bars per SQ mile in the US I believe), and Grove St in Jersey City has tons of bars/restaurants too
