TAKE THE TRAIN FROM NYC TO THE WORKSHOP:
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 Fairfield train station. The train leaves Grand Central Terminal at 10:07 am and arrives in Fairfield at 11:17 am. The cost from GST to Fairfield on Sunday (which is off-peak) should be $10.25 each way if you buy the ticket at the station. The Fairfield train station is about 5 minutes from the house. Let us know if you are coming by train and we will pick you up at the station. If you get to the station and need a ride to the workshop call us at the numbers below.
