GETTING HERE

Take the 33rd St. PATH Train
One of the NYC/NJ trains runs from 33rd Street to Hoboken, making stops at 33rd Street Herald Square, 23rd Street, 14th Street, 9th Street, and Christopher Street. After Christopher Street, the next and last stop is Hoboken. Make sure you get on the train with the big “H” on the sign. Taking the PATH end-to-end takes about 20 minutes, and it’s an 8 minute trip from good ‘ole Christopher Street.

Take the WTC PATH Train
The other NYC/NJ train runs from World Trade Center to Hoboken. This train stops at WTC, Exchange Place (NJ), Newport (NJ), and then Hoboken. End to end, this trip takes about 10 minutes. So freakin’ easy.

Take the Ferry
There are a couple of spots to pick up the NY Waterways Ferry, and this is the most luxurious of all rides. One is near Brookfield Place (west of WTC), another is at W. 39th Street, and the last is at Pier 11. The Brookfield and Pier 11 ferries drop you off at the NJ Transit Terminal in Hoboken (same place as PATH station). The W. 39th Street ferry drops you off at 14th Street in Hoboken, a short walk or drive to our location. The ferry ride costs $8-$11 for an adult ticket, depending on where you hop aboard. The ferries are perfect if you have a bike, or enjoy taking the scenic route. 🙂

Drive & Ride
It can take as few as 10 minutes to drive to Cobalt Stages from Manhattan’s West Village, and an Uber typically costs around $30 with the tunnel toll included. The Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnels connect to opposite ends of Hoboken. Both take the same amount of time, so use whichever is closest to you! Parking instructions to follow!

Take the Bus (cheap ‘n easy)
There’s an NJ Transit bus that departs from Port Authority. It takes 15 minutes to arrive at the stop that’s just one block away from us! There are several ways to pay the $3.50 fare, but the easiest way is through their mobile app.
