Hotels in NYC seem pretty expensive, especially around the Javits center. Will FIRST teams get a group rate?

For Long Island, New Jersey, and teams within a two hour drive, I would recommend commuting to the NYC Regional.
You can use private or public bus or railroad.
The 34th St. Penn Station is a easy walk to the Javits.
Grand Central Station is a bus ride.
And the Port Authority Bus Terminal is only a short bus or walk away.

If you would like to stay, there are many non-Mahattan hotels available around LaGuardia Airport (the closest), Newark Airport and Kennedy Airport.

There also many hotels in New Jersey that are very close to Manhattan; Hoboken, Weehawken, Secaucus, Meadowland, etc.

Good Luck!
