Which airport? There are 3 major airports in NYC area.

You are pretty far from the Summit hotel. You might be able to take the subway, a cab would be expensive from there, and it isn't walking distance. I'll send the subway expert in tomorrow to help out with that.

@steve. I just sent you a detailed mail. Lets get in touch.

Thanks

you don't need a used cell phone. Go to any store and get a prepaid phone. It will cost you around $50.

ps: If you don't like to smell urine do not attempt to use public street phones in NYC.

And can the phone be sold back when I return?

Rhia's guide by subway is good but if it was me I would just stay on the "A" train to 125th street instead of doing the transfer to the "2 or 3" train. It is only a few blocks walk from the "A" train.

When you are leaving JFK airport make sure the airtrain you get on is going to the Howard Beach station and not the one heading to Jamaica center.

This advise sounds good. I will keep a note of it.

Is there anyone who would like to may be meet before the summit, just to get around.
