Getting to Fort Tyron Park--Linden Terrace





We are so excited that you'll be joining us at Fort Tryon Park for our wedding: it is an absolutely beautiful park located in northern Manhattan, just north of the George Washington Bridge.

The ceremony will be on Saturday, June 14th, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. at Linden Terrace in the park.

If you are driving, take the Joe DiMaggio Highway/Henry Hudson Parkway northbound to the first exit after the George Washington Bridge (Fort Tryon Park/The Cloisters exit). Note that this exit is only accessible heading northbound. If traveling southbound, take the Henry Hudson Parkway to exit 14-15. Immediately follow signs to Henry Hudson Parkway northbound. Travel north on the Henry Hudson one mile to the Fort Tryon Park/The Cloisters exit. Follow the road around and past the Cloisters, bearing right toward Fort Washington Avenue. The New Leaf Café will appear on the right. Free parking is available there. From the New Leaf Cafe, simply walk down the hill, past the Promenade, until you hit Linden Terrace.

If you are taking public transportation, find your way to the A train, and take it to the 190th Street Station. Exit via the elevator to Fort Washington Avenue. Walk north on Margaret Corbin Drive, entering the park through Maragret Corbin Circle. Walk straight into the park on the Promenade, directly to Linden Terrace.

You can also find a New York City subway map here: http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm

If you get lost either way, you can always call the New Leaf Cafe at 212-568-5323.

Sunday in the Park

If you haven't made your travel plans yet, consider staying through Sunday afternoon for a post-wedding brunch in Central Park. We are planning on having a picnic at the Grand Oval (directions to follow soon), from 9:30 am-1:30 pm on Sunday, June 15th. It will pretty chill (bagels, coffee, frisbee, soccer balls), but we would love to see you all there!

Hotels

Hotels in New York can be very expensive. We have tried to find the most inexpensive yet convenient options available. All Rooms are reserved for Friday 6/13 & Saturday 6/14.

New Jersey

If you are coming by car, we recommend that consider staying in Ft. Lee NJ which is just across the George Washington Bridge and minutes away from Fort Tyron Park. New Jersey is a lot less expensive but also a lot less fun!

If enough people decide to stay in New Jersey, we can arrange a shuttle to take you to and from the wedding.

We're so excited to see you all at our wedding in June! This blog will be here for those of us who are incapable of keeping in our possession the small scraps of paper on which the details of our lives are recorded. Just check the posts on various topics to see details on how, what, and where. You can ask questions or make comments from the various posts and we'll check them regularly.

Don't forget to give us your favorite songs as a comment on the songs post. See you all soon (soooo sooooonnnn...)
