OTHER HOTEL OPTIONS:
(Hotels.com, Expedia, Priceline, etc)
– Search for a Hotel close to Harlem, the Harlem Aloft, Radio Hotel, Uptown, MidTown, the Bronx by Yankee Stadium, Ft. Lee, New Jersey, etc. Your hotel location doesn’t have to be in Harlem proper to get to the events by means like Uber, Subway or other options in the New York City metro area. Don’t Wait…
*************************
TRAVEL
AIR:
Flying into LaGuardia (LGA) is the most convenient and closest airport to Harlem and the other Host Hotels. From LaGuardia Airport to the Aloft Hotel, a Taxi, Uber or Lift will take approximately 20 min. If it is your first time in NYC, we recommend this option.
JFK and Newark airports are also options but further trips with Newark being the furthest from Harlem. If you stay in Ft. Lee or other cities across the bridge in New Jersey, Newark may be your best option.
