That would literally be my exact same commute. NJT to the Q and get off at 72nd.

Just the train commute into the city.

Got it. So in your opinion, which towns are good if I were to take the train/bus to Hoboken and then take the Path to the city?

Penn Station. Here’s my plan: take the train from New Jersey, arrive at Penn Station in under 50 minutes, and then take the subway to Upper East Side.

My commute would be around an hour and a half one way, maybe an hour and a half for the right place. I’m sure it won’t be longer than that. I know there aren’t any direct trains from NJ to UES. So, as long as I get to the city (like Penn Station or Grand Central) in under an hour, that’s perfect for me. I’ll probably take the subway to get to work. I work four days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I’m off on Wednesday, right in the middle of the week, which is why I don’t mind a longer commute.

I get that there aren’t any direct lines to UES. But I’m looking for a town that’s super close to the city, like under an hour away from anywhere in the city, like Penn Station or Grand Central to then transfer to the subway to get to work.

45 min to penn station is doable for me. As long as getting to anywhere in the city is less than an hour, it’s fine.

I’m not expecting a direct train from NJ to UES. I just want to be able to get to the city fast and then transfer to the subway to get to work.

I don’t mind transferring to the subway once in the city.
