(When using a mapping program you may have difficulty locating my street. My street has a few different spellings but is commonly referred to as Boulevard East in my neighborhood. Other spellings to try are; JFK Blvd. East , Kennedy Blvd E or JF Kennedy Blvd E. Just be sure not to go to  any version of Kennedy Boulevard without the East, it is an entirely different street. Sorry it is so confusing, the town made it that way.)

Please keep in mind that Lara Corsets is by appointment only

By public transportation from NYC (three options):

• From the Port Authority bus terminal take a NJ transit bus from gate #212 to Boulevard East & 62nd street. There are several bus lines which share the gate and stop across the street from my building. I do not remember all the numbers but it does include bus routes 166, 165, 164,   . It is a two zone fare and should cost about $2.40 each way. Buses run about every 5-20 minutes and it is a 10-20 minute bus ride normally.

 

• Or... you can take the $2.00 shuttle bus from 42nd street (between 8th & 9th ave). Busses board between Kaufman's Army/Navy and the Burger King. Ask for the "Boulevard East" bus. A warning though, these busses are truly no frills. They have no climate control, tight seating and occasionally crazy drivers. You are required to call out when you want the bus to stopso you would need to watch the street numbers for 62nd street. The bus will not depart 42nd street until it is full so in the off hours you may be sitting there a while.

 

• Or......you can take the ferry and a local car service. The ferry is $6.00 and the car service from the ferry to my house is another $6.00. So this is the most expensive option. But if there is traffic in the Lincoln tunnel it makes life sooo much easier. The ferry is a quick and lovely ride and there is a taxi stand there at the terminal to take you to my house.  You can take a taxi to the ferry terminal at 40th street and the West Side Highway or one of the NY Waterways busses which run along 57th, 50th, 42nd, 34th and 23rd streets. Waterways busses to the ferry are free. Once in the terminal purchase a one way ticket to Port Imperial/ Weehawken (you would probably be better off returning to NYC by one of the above two busses). Once off the ferry exit the terminal to your left and head to the taxi stand. You are going to Boulevard East & 63rd street, is should cost $6 or $6.50, confirm the price with the driver before you go.

 

Driving directions:

• Take the Lincoln Tunnel from NYC
• Get over to the far right lane of the ramp, the exit comes up quickly
• Exit on right for Weehawken / Boulevard East
• Bear Right at end of ramp onto Boulevard East (if you pass a Hess gas station you have gone the right way)
• Continue on Boulevard East (the road twists and turns along the cliffs overlooking the Hudson river)
• The intersecting named streets will become numbered streets and the numbers will be ascending as you head North along the Hudson
• My building is on Boulevard East between 62nd and 63rd Street
