Re: NYC Regional--Transportation question for residents there

Team 1676 looks forward to seeing you in NYC!

Quote:
Currently, we're booked at the Sheraton in Weehawken across the Lincoln Tunnel.
Are there any hotels still available in the city within walking distance for a decent price? You might want to consider that.

Quote:
There are a few options for getting across, including a "free shuttle." (the price is right, but dependable?)
Could you call the hotel asking about the 'free shuttle,' and what times it runs?

Quote:
Any input from you guys who know the place? Any teams stayed at this Sheraton before?
From what I could find online, it looks nice, and Tripadvisor showed very positive reviews. There also seems to be a Houlihans right next to the Hotel, which could be a good dinner option.

Follow-up question: who knows exactly how to get a bus from Lincoln Harbor to Javits Center (or close enough). I've looked online for public transportation, but I can't find anything with a map yet; lots of vague instructions
I just did a quick search on Google Maps, which says that you could walk the short distance to either Willow Ave and 19th Street or to the Lincoln Harbor to get buses from there. However, those all bring you to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, which would require walking another 3/4ths of a mile to the Javits Center.

I hope this helps!
