Are you traveling to get here? We've put together some easy transportation tips below. Learn more about our neighborhood here, and the public space in which the event is being held here.
Take the subway
Subway lines: E, F, M, R, 7 (local)
On E, F, M, R, the stop is called Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av. On the 7 local line, the same stop is also called 74 St-Broadway. The 7 express train doesn't stop here.
The Queens bound E or F are typically express trains — about 20 minutes from Manhattan.
If you’re coming from deeper into Queens, you can also take the 7 local train to 82nd Street —Jackson Heights.
Walk a few blocks
Walk north toward 37th Avenue; the Avenue numbers should go down. If you're coming from 74th, walk east. If you're coming from 82nd, walk west. It's about a 15-minute walk. Visit any number of the awesome restaurants in Jackson Heights on your way for an early lunch. Here are some examples.
