Re: PhilaRAT Conference Carriage Ride Challenge, Conference Plans and Calls f...
Everything will be pretty much within walking distance. The problem is
getting back to NYC latenight if places to crash can't be set up.
The last SEPTA R7 train from Market East Stations is:
-- Thurs/Friday PM: 11.45
-- Saturday PM: 11:12 [yes, earlier than weekdays]
There are buses leaving from 11th & Market to NYC later than
that.
We'll have some other options out to the full list in a little while. (We
have a complete list of hostels, inexpensive hotels, bed and breakfasts that I
never knew existed, etc. etc.)

FYI for anyone coming from NYC,
but in direct response to Cathy's e-mail:
We (Catherine and Barry of
Peculiar Works) try to get down to Philadelphia
from NYC fairly regularly
and we always take the NJ Transit train from Penn
Station to Trenton where
you switch to Southeast Pennsylvania Transit
Authority (SEPTA) which has
several stops in Philadelphia, including the main
terminal at 30th Street
(?) station. It costs $24 total round-trip (unless
fares have gone up
since last September). That's how we're planning to get
there... unless
the folks from Philly think we might need a car once we get
there (let us
know if we do!).

would be easy for 5 of us, none of us have access to

NYC has room for 5 extra
