Looks like it only goes to Newark though?
Sorry, I overlooked which Penn station they were referring to. OK, so since power is not expected to be restored to lower Manhattan until Saturday, PATH will probably not be an option. All I can think of is taking a NJT bus or Amtrak ($28/18 min. ride) once you get to Newark.
Or maybe someone reading this and coming from NJ can pick you up at Newark/Penn.

Path won't be an option until they get the 5 million gallons or so of water out.

I'm driving straight from Boston. Is going through Randall's Island a safe idea or should I seek a different route?

It's alright. I think my wife and I will just drive. I used Google to give us directions and routed it so it only takes about 2 hours and there weren't any closed roads along the way. I'm getting there one way or another!

If you mean from Queens, I can see the ramp in Astoria and traffic is flowing both ways.

Thanks for the reply.
how will you be getting here driving from Philly? Have a friend trying to figure out how but with everything closed (all tunnels) and extensive restrictions on the bridges, can't really tell her much.

taking the Goethals bridge/i278 seems to be the better option.

Friday, November 2, NEC service will be restored between Trenton Transit Center and New York Penn Station, operating on a special schedule. NEC service is not affected by power failure at the Rail Operations Center.
So I guess my next question is; how are the train lines out of Manhattan to where this party will be?
Edit - I take it the N Line is what will get us there from Manhattan.
Im still on the quest to figure out that track. he played at gov island this summer. ID anyone?

Expect extreme heavy delays. Friend posted a pic of the Qnsboro plaza platform last night, and it was overcrowded. IDK how the situation may be at 34st/Herald Sq. but I can say that my morning commute (from Queens) consisted of heavy lines just to use the stairways. Today went by a lot smoother than yday, but still, nonetheless, it was crazy.
To be on the safe side and assure that you won't get there late and miss part of his set, consider the commute from 34st/Herald Sq. and (you have two options here): N, get off at 39av or M, get off 36st to be between 60-90mins long. The N would drop you off closer but by like a block or two. And if you happen to get there faster than I estimate (which btw is an over-estimate), there are plenty of bars around the area to pregame or whatever.
