Default Flying into NYC for Thanksgiving Day Parade

I was thinking about flying the family up to NYC to see the Thanksgiving Day
Parade.

Anyone recommend an airport to fly in to?

I would rather not rent a car, just get into town somehow and then the walk
or cab it while in the city.


Teterboro (KTEB) is probably the closest in terms of commuting into
Manhattan. I commuted there weekly during the summer of 2004 for business
on the Island.

Car service from the airport to midtown is about US $80 to $100 one way.
You could also take the train or the bus. Millionare, the FBO where I
parked, provided free transportation to the train or bus stop. Both were
about 5 minutes away from the FBO, both stops were outdoors, and both were
not places at which I felt comfortable standing alone after dark. The bus
takes you to Port Authority bus terminal snd the train takes you to Penn
Station.

In terms of cost, the train was about $6.00 per person and the bus was
about $2.50 from their stops near TEB. In the end, I opted for the bus
since it was faster, even during rush hour. You can get both schedules
online.

The bus is the New Jersey Transit bus #165. Here is the schedule:

The train is the New Jersey transit, Pascack Valley line, transferring in
Secaucus Station. You need to fill in some information to see your
schedule, he
