Directions

PLANES

We're just a short 15 minute cab ride from the JFK airport. Or, take the AirTrain ($5 MetroCard) to the Subway A Line ($2.75 MetroCard) towards Far Rockaway (NOT LEFFERTS BLVD!). Take the A train to the 67th Street stop and exit on the west end of the platform. Walk two blocks up 69th Street and you have arrived.
TRAINS

AUTOMOBILES

Street parking during the summer can get pretty crazy, but if you're driving to Rockaway there is usually ample parking downtown on the bay side of the peninsula where we're located. If you park on the streets in front or alongside the house, be aware of street sweeping on Mondays and Wednesdays between 11:30am and 1pm every week!

If you prefer the bus, the Q22 stops just a few blocks away
