Best way to get to NYC?

I'm going to Electric Zoo soon, a 2-day music festival in New York City. I'm coming from State College, PA (in the middle of PA). What would be the best way to get there? I have a car, but I'm not too thrilled about trying to drive in NYC and there's also the issue of parking.|||Best way will be MegaBus, but in order to get cheaper fare, you must book in advance.


MegaBus leaves SW Corner of Walmart Parking Lot and takes you to 7th Av %26amp; 28th St Subway Station in Manhattan. In return trip, MegaBus leaves from 31st St %26amp; 8th Av, by former M10 Bus Stop.|||There is a train that goes directly from Lewistown, PA to NYC (Penn Station). I gather Lewistown is not far from State College. (I gather it's about a 45 minute drive from State College to Lewistown.)





There is a direct train from Lewistown to NYC - it leaves around 11 am and takes almost 6 hours to get to NYC.





While that may sound like a long time, driving takes time, too. And on a train there is no traffic to deal with, and you can just lean back and read or listen to your ipod or sleep.





And when you get here, you won't have to worry about what to do with your car. The train leaves you right in Midtown, too - unlike flying. You'll be right in the heart of NYC when you step off the train.|||Take a bus or Train. Also think about this... If your take a freight train you wouldn't have to pay for gas or deal with parking in NYC. Just an Idea|||Check out gotobus.com Seems you may be able to get a roundtrip ticket for about $50.00. Then while you're in New York you can get you an unlimited MTA pass for the train (or bus). Have fun!!!
