| I use to live in NY and Manhatten is far from Jones Beach. If memory serves me right I believe Jones Beach is in Queens. And that would mean you would have to go from Manhatten through Brooklyn into Queens. Maybe take the subway into Brooklyn and go to Coney Island. I heard they fixed it up. Have fun!

| I live in NJ but if I'm not mistaken it's about 35-40miles out to Jones Beach where the theater is located. It will cost an arm and a leg in a cab. You might be able to do it by subway?

| heyI did a mapquest from a friends house in midtown to the beach and it says 47 minutes (without traffic) I would think a cab would charge alot! I live in queens and a cab charges around 28 dollars from the city to here. and from here to jones beach is about 35-40 minutes away hope this helps Last edited by Mybabyboymax; 07-07-2007 at 12:19 PM. |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | yes they would charge you a ton! They are far from each other and cab drivers here like to try to trick you and charge more, you have to negotiate with them to lower the price.

What about going to Central Park? If the weather is nice there are always people there, laying out in the sun, riding bikes.

| Why Jones Beach? Is it just for the beach or a concert? There are beaches in Brooklyn and in Queens (Riis Park). Queens is fairly close tro Manhattan. I would either get a car service or rent a car for the day. You do have to pay for parking, but it's a vacation. If you want, pm me with your starting point, and I'll check out some car service prices for you. Judy
