Directions from the Airport
From JFK and LaGuardia Airports, take airport bus to Grand Central Station and take Subway to Club Quarters. You will take the 4 or 5 train to Wall Street. Exit station and proceed down Wall Street 2 blocks to William Street. Turn left and Club Quarters is 1 block up on the right, on the corner of Pine Street. Cabs and car services are available at the airport and, even though they cost more, they are your best bet if you have a lot of luggage or are unsure of taking public transportation. Plan on spending at least $30 to $50 depending on the airport and time of day. There is also the option of taking the Supershuttle (see the airport ground transportation desk for information) approximately $15.00 per person directly to the hotel. From Newark Airport, take airport bus to Penn Station and take Subway to Club Quarters. You will take the 2 or 3 train to Wall Street, exit station onto William Street. The Supershuttle (see the airport ground transportation desk for information) from Newark Airport is approximately $19.00 per person directly to the hotel.

By Subway*
Take the 5 train uptown to Astor Place. Once you exit the station, walk west until you hit Broadway. Proceed South to the Tisch School of the Arts building which is located on the west side of Broadway on the corner right off of Waverly Place.
You can also take the 2 or 3 train to Times Square, 42nd street. Transfer to the N, R, or W train. You will get off at 8th street. Use the far left exit of the train station and you will be directly on the same side of 721 Broadway (Tisch). Cross the street and you are at the building.
* To access the subway, you must purchase a MetroCard. A SingleRide ticket costs $2 and is available for cash only at the large vending machines located near the teller in the subway station. The SingleRide ticket is good for a subway or bus trip only within two hours of purchase. It gives you a free bus-to-bus transfer but you don't get a free transfer between subway and bus. Any purchase above the SingleRide ticket can be made with a credit card or debit card. PLEASE NOTE: WE WILL BE PURCHASING 7-DAY UNLIMITED METROCARDS FOR EACH FESTIVAL PARTICIPANT WHICH WILL BE HANDED OUT DURING THE ORIENTATION ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2005.
