Getting to Verizon in New York
The airport, the ground game, and whether you need a car for a business trip to Verizon’s New York headquarters — from our verified where-to-stay data.
Which airport for Verizon
LGA ~25 min · EWR ~35 min · JFK ~50 min. New York has three: LaGuardia (LGA) is closest to Midtown but has no rail; Newark (EWR) connects by AirTrain to NJ Transit into Penn Station; JFK runs the AirTrain to the LIRR and subway. Pick by where you are staying as much as by your flight.
The ground reality in New York
The opposite of a car city — you usually do not want to rent. From EWR, AirTrain to NJ Transit reaches Penn Station in about half an hour; from JFK, AirTrain to the LIRR or subway; LaGuardia is a taxi or the Q70 bus to the subway. Parking a rental in Manhattan is expensive and pointless. The honest move is train-and-taxi.
Getting to Verizon
For Verizon specifically, Midtown Manhattan, on Sixth Avenue by Bryant Park points you toward transit or a taxi — a car in Manhattan is a liability, not an asset.
