Travel Advice
- Walking Outdoors: Be prepared to walk between the NYFF hotel and venues several times a day. Temperatures in NYC on Feb 28th typically range from 34°F to 43°F (1°C to 6°C) and are rarely below 21°F (-6°C) or above 56°F (13°C). More Info.
- Amtrak: If you’re visiting from the Northeast, you can book an Amtrak train to New York Penn Station, just a few blocks away from the hotel and dance venues. See Map.
- Nearby Airports: Fly into EWR, LGA, or JFK. All New York City area airports have accessible public transit options to Midtown NYC.
- Driving: We don’t recommend driving into Midtown NYC due to high parking costs ($150-$300 for the weekend if using a garage), but if these aren’t concerns, you can find several garages in the area.
