Transit: Scroll down for transit info.
Lodging: We are currently investigating the possibility of blocks of rooms at a discount for attendees. However, since hotels are expensive in NYC and we can’t guarantee that we will be able to offer this, we encourage you to search for your own lodging and book well in advance.
We can suggest these sources for affordable lodging:
Pod Hotels:
- With four locations (three in Manhattan, one in Brooklyn) – visit https://www.thepodhotel.com/ for details. Please be aware that the locations are not in the vicinity of the Congress venue, and will require using mass transit to get to the meeting (the nearest subway is the 6 train on Lexington Avenue, at the 96th Street station); we’ll provide transit details soon.
HI Hostel NYC:
- This hostel, with shared dorm rooms, is on the Upper West Side, a 20-minute walk across Central Park from the venue (or using the 96th Street crosstown bus): https://www.hiusa.org/find-hostels/new-york/new-york-891-amsterdam-ave
More lodging options may be posted here in the coming weeks.
Local transit:
We highly recommend downloading the Citymapper app, which can be very helpful in getting around NYC. Visit https://citymapper.com/ for details.
Yellow taxis can be hailed on the street; Uber is very reliable. However, the subway is preferable for longer journeys, because NYC street traffic can be pretty congested.
The nearest subway line is the 6 train (the local train on the “green” line), exiting at the 96th Street station and walking a few blocks west to the venue (enter at via the Guggenheim Pavilion at 1190 Fifth Avenue or 1468 Madison Avenue, between 99th and 100th Streets).
You can also arrive via a number of local bus lines: M1, M2, M3, M4, M96, M98, M101, M102, M103, and M106, exiting the bus at 98th Street.
Complete public transit information and maps can be found at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) website.
For parking information, please visit the Mt. Sinai visitor’s page here: https://www.mountsinai.org/locations/mount-sinai/your-visit/locations.
Information on getting into NYC from the nearby airports (LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark) will be coming soon.
