I hear good things about the Chinatown bus. $35 r/t. Not sure of the web site though.

my favorite is the Dragon Coach, since it drops off in Herald Sq which is far more convenient than NY's chinatown.

chinatown bus is so passe … greyhound now offers the same price ($35 r/t) and departures every hour … although they don't have cool kung-fu movies

chinatown buses are more likely to let you take a bike on if there's space. greyhound is jerks about it.

Buddha, are you necessarily looking for the cheapest transport? You can often find flights that are less than the train – anywhere from $90-150. If you fly in to Newark, there's an easy train in to Penn Station and take a cab or hop on the subway there. If you fly in to LaGuardia, I think you have to take a taxi, which can be pricey depending on where you're going…

Yeah, cheapest would be ideal. I know Dino Jr. is playing here a few days before, so I might not need to make the trip. Does anyone know if Broken Social Scene is opening the 9:30 show?

Whenever I go to NYC, I drive to Hamilton, NJ & take NJ Transit train in to the city. It's like $16 roundtrip, plus the tolls & gas money. I have found it to be the best & cheapest way in & out of Manhattan. I absolutely hate taking the bus, amtrak is a rip-off and airports are a hassle.
