Hey guys, does anyone here live in NYC? I am in Long Island doing training and I want to go to NYC and trying to figure out the best way to get there. I am in Melville/Plainview area. Mapquest shows 33 miles away. Thanks!

Hop the LIRR at Wyandanch to Penn Station...the city is your oyster from there.

One of the regular riders will have to clue you in on that...I haven't taken the train from there in over 10 years, but it used to take about an hour.

99% of the city is fine....use some common sense and be aware of your surroundings...shouldn​'t be a problem.

Carry your camera in a bookbag or similar...try not to look like a total tourist and you shouldn't have any issues.
