How to Reach the City of Hoboken, NJ
Hoboken is approximately one square mile in area, and is located on the New Jersey bank of the Hudson River, between the Holland and Lincoln tunnels.
By Public Transportation
From New York City
Bus: Take NJ Transit Bus No 126, or the Red Apple from the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 8th Ave. & 42nd St. The bus goes directly to Hoboken and travels down Washington street,
Subway: Take the PATH subway, marked "Hoboken". Once in Hoboken, take a local Washington Street bus.
From West of the Hudson River
Airplane: Use Newark Airport. Cab fare from the Airport is about $25. Or else take the NJ Transit "Airlink" bus to Penn Station Newark, and then take the PATH train to Hoboken, transferring at Journal Square, Jersey City.
Bus: Connections may be made in Journal Square, Jersey City, for Downtown Bus No 5-6 (marked "Jersey City - Weehawken") to Washington St. in Hoboken.
Train: Many NJ Transit trains stop in Hoboken, or at Penn Station, Newark. From Newark, take the PATH train to Journal Square, and change to a westbound PATH train for "Hoboken/33rd"
By Automobile
From New York City: Take the Lincoln Tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, bear to the extreme right and go through the overpass marked "Hoboken".
From New Jersey and points South and West: Take the NJ Turnpike to exit 16E (from the south) or 17 (from the west) toward the Lincoln Tunnel. At the sign "Last exit in New Jersey (Weehawken, Hoboken)" exit to the right and turn right at the 2nd traffic signal.
Once in Hoboken: On either Willow or Park Ave., proceed over a small bridge and turn left onto 14th street. Go two blocks to Washington Street and turn right. Take Washington for five blocks and turn left on 9th street. Go two blocks, then turn right on Castle point Terrace. Park in the 8th Street lot, directly ahead of you.
On Campus:The Tool of Thought seminar will be held on the 3rd and 4th floors of the Howe Center.
The target (Howe Center) is Bldg 11 on the map, which is the only tall
highrise on the campus, on the river. It's equivalent to continuing east on
8th Street
From the Path (effectively due south from the bldg) walk west to Hudson St,
turn North (right) and walk 7 blocks to Sixth Street, turn east (right). Walk 2
blocks to the entry arch and turn North (left) and take the right hand walkway
which sweeps in a grand curve to the Howe Center.
