If You're Flying In

We suggest that you fly into Newark International Airport. If you're game to take Mass Transit there are a few options listed below. We have contacted State Shuttle which operates out of Newark (and JFK) and they have vans suitable for transporting you and your harp. They only need 24-hr notice on a reservation. Cost: $40 for a trip to the Parsippany Hilton. Call 1-800-427-3207 (if calling from outside the US, dial 973-347-3144). They also have a shuttle that runs from JFK to Newark for $30 and then go to Parsippany for the additional leg at $40.

Mass Transit Options

Don't forget we have the harp loaner pool available to those for whom traveling with the harp would be a real nuisance. The website for New Jersey Transit is very helpful once you actually know what you're looking for. However, if you call them, you'll find a very friendly helpful person who will help you get to 1 Hilton Court, Parsippany from various points in NY and NJ. That's how I got most of the information on this page--and then their website made more sense. NJ Transit toll-free number: 800-772-2287.

Trains from New York

From: Amtrak trains into New York City's Penn Station, take the NJ Transit Morris/Essex train from Penn Station to Morris Plains NJ (there is a transfer on some trains at Newark's Broad St. station). The Morris Plains train station is 2.6 miles from the Parsippany Hilton. Cab it from there.

From Newark Airport

From the airport you can take NJ Transit trains to Morris Plains. Check the schedule because you'll have to transfer at Secaucus train station (a very short hop from the airport) to get the Morris/Essex train to Morris Plains (some of these trains also stop at Newark Broad Street station where you have to transfer again--so check it out). Morning trains express from Secaucus to Morris Plains take 80-90 minutes. Once you get to the Morris Plains train station, do the last 2.6 miles to the hotel via a cab.

New Jersey Transit Buses

From Newark NJ

You can take the train from Newark Broad St to Morristown station then transfer to the MCM2 bus to t the Morris Plains train station. It's 2.6 miles to the Hilton--so take a cab fom there. That bus also stop at Dryden Way (which is 2 blocks from the hotel but doesn't run that frequently).

You can take either the 79 or 29 bus, which can drop you at various points along Rt. 46, near the hotel, and then get a cab for the last leg of the journey.

Buses from Port Authority NYC

Lakeland Bus Lines (phone: 973-366-0600) runs commuter lines to Parsippany from Port Authority in New York City. You'd be taking the Rt. 46 Westbound bus to Parsippany. There are a variety of stops.
