I may not have been clear, so this is what I meant.
We'll have a courier bag each, so that's no big deal, and a baby in a stroller - sort of a big deal, but he's 1 and likes to travel.
So the idea was that we fly to Newark Int'l., get on NJT 1 stop to Newark Penn, get on PATH to lower Manhattan, and either take the orange line, whatever that route is, all the way to 23rd St., where we walk to the apt.
Or we take NJT to NYP (twice as much fare cost) to the ACE to 23rd St.
Thoughts?
Orange line??? In NYC we don't identify the routes by their colors. Nevertheless the B, D and F (orange on the subway map) trains do not have stops in Lower Manhattan anywhere near the WTC station.
You didn't say 23rd St and where. If you want 23rd St on the west side of Manhattan then from Newark Penn take PATH to Journal Square and switch (across the platform) to the 33rd St train. Take that to 23rd St (6th Av). You can then walk east or west along 23rd. If you want to go to the WTC from Newark Penn take the PATH train all the way down there. You can pick up the E train and take that uptown to 23rd St (8th Av). The A train doesn't stop at 23rd St, the C train doesn't stop at WTC (where the E does). You can walk along the passageway to the A & C station (Chambers St) and pick up the C train there which becomes a local and stops at 23rd St.
A couple of things you should be aware of: The #1 train (red line on the subway map) does not stop at the WTC. That station (Cortlandt St) was destroyed on 9/11 and while a shell of a station was rebuilt nothing will reopen until a final decision is made as to what will happen with the rest of the site. The other Cortlandt St station (R, W lines [Yellow on the subway map]) is closed until next year while work is done on the new Fulton St transit hub.
