TAKE THE TRAIN FROM NYC TO THE WORKSHOP: (this info updated on 10/24/21)

Here's another way to get to the workshop from NYC and not have to deal with the traffic. You can take the MTA Metro North train to the SOUTHPORT train station. The best train to take leaves Grand Central Terminal at 10:02 am and arrives in SOUTHPORT at 11:27 am. The cost is $13.50 one way if you buy it at the station, $20 if you buy it on the train. The trip is an hour and 25 minutes.

Let us know if you are coming by train and we will pick you up at the station or you can call for an Uber. If you get to the station and need a ride to the workshop call us at one of these numbers: Greg 908-294-1492, or Frank 203-571-8082. If you take a later train you will need to take an Uber to the location.

Note: You should use your GPS as the following directions are old and may have changed.

FROM NJ and POINTS SOUTH, TAKING THE GSP, TAPPAN ZEE BRIDGE AND THE MERRITT PARKWAY:

From NJ take the Garden State Parkway north to its northern end. Continue north into NY State to the NY State Throughway (I-87 and I-287) and go East. Follow I-287/87 right across the Tappan Zee bridge. Right after the bridge toll take Exit 8 to continue on I-287 to Cross Westchester Parkway to New England. Stay on I-287 to Exit 9, Merritt Parkway North, to New England.

Continue on the Merritt Parkway North to exit 44. At the bottom of the ramp turn right onto Congress Street (note: take the first right off the ramp, do not go all the way to the traffic light at the bottom of the hill. There is no street sign for Congress Street at this turn.) Continue on Congress Street for about 2 miles and then turn left onto Hillside Road. Stay on Hillside for about 1.7 miles. Do not get on Bronson Road at this time. You must stay on Hillside until you come to the stop sign, where Hillside Road joins Bronson Road (a Texaco gas station will be across the street at the "T" intersection). Turn left onto Bronson Road. Go straight about 2/10 mile and pass a sign on your left that says “OAK LAWN CEMETERY and OGDEN HOUSE” (on the same board), continue straight for a short distance and then turn right onto Warner Hill Road. Go to the second house on the left, #57 is marked clearly on the mail box as you can't see the house from the road. (Distance from exit 44 to the house is about 4.1 miles)
