New York City<\/strong> is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with some of the busiest transit<\/strong> hubs in the country and the largest subway system in the world. Because of this, sometimes getting around can be a little overwhelming!<\/p>\n

Like most major metropolitan cities, New York\u2019s main airports<\/strong> are also not located in the heart of the city. Despite the major draw of Manhattan<\/strong> for business and tourism alike, most travelers to New York make their entry by way of the airports on the fringes of Queens<\/a> or even New Jersey.<\/p>\n

While this can be intimidating to first-time residents of New York, we at New York Habitat<\/strong> have compiled a list of tips and a 3-part guide to traveling from the airport to your furnished apartment while you stay with us. Because air travel can be unpredictable, we also have your guide on what to do if your travel plans change. Our licensed agents<\/strong> and New York Habitat hosts<\/strong> are here to help!<\/p>\n
