By Train
MetroNorth
MetroNorth is the easiest, cheapest way to get from New York City to New Haven.
If you arrive at JFK or Laguardia and want to travel to New Haven by train, make your way to Grand Central Station (this can be done by cab, subway, or airbus). At Grand Central, purchase a ticket on the New Haven line to the New Haven station (Union Station, not State Street). The tickets are $14 each way, and the ride take between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on the train.
Once you arrive at the train station, you can take a cab to your hotel, or (if you are feeling adventurous and are staying at one of the central hotels--not the Premiere--you can walk!)
