Getting Around
Paying for Transit (NYC)
NYC subway/local bus fare: $3.00 for most riders.
OMNY tap-to-pay offers a 7-day fare cap: pay up to $35 in 7 days and rides are free after you hit the cap (use the same card/device).
PATH (Jersey City ⇄ Manhattan)
PATH SingleRide Ticket: $3.00 (check the PATH page for any updates).
Newport PATH Station (near the hotel): 90 Pavonia Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07310.
Hotel ⇄ Venue (Recommended Route)
From Courtyard Jersey City Newport → NYAM (1216 Fifth Ave)
- Start at Courtyard Jersey City Newport, 540 Washington Blvd, Jersey City
- Walk to Newport PATH Station, 90 Pavonia Ave
- Take the 33 St-bound PATH train into Manhattan
- The Newport to 33rd Street PATH ride takes about 15 minutes
- Get off at 33rd Street PATH
- Walk to the 33 St subway station on Park Avenue
- Take the uptown 6 train to 103 St
- Exit at 103 St
- Walk west on 103rd Street to Fifth Avenue
- Arrive at New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), 1216 Fifth Ave

Timing tip (April 3–4)
Target arrival at the venue 30 minutes before your first session begins.
- Allow about 60 to 90 minutes total, depending on train wait time and walking pace. That fits your concern that the trip can take around 1 to 1.5 hours. The published PATH leg alone is about 15 minutes, and the rest of the trip still includes the subway transfer, the uptown subway ride, and the final walk.
