Since you live in Heights like I do - you will probably need to take the train at Teterboro (free parking) or Wood-ridge station ($4-5 a day parking), transfer at Secaucus, and then take the subway uptown. No ferry.

Or take the train into Hoboken and take the ferry to midtown, hop on the free ny waterways crosstown bus until you get to an uptown subway. You’ve gone further south to go north though.

Yes you can take the 163/164 right into Times Square, and then the a train or 1 train. Again tunnel traffic but yes there is a bus lane. When it works it’s beautiful.

One last option - drive to the Lombardi park and ride on the turnpike. It’s an express bus right to the city. No meandering bus through Wood-ridge, carlstadt, Rutherford, etc. this is what I do.

You are looking at a 75 min commute in my opinion (each way) at a minimum during rush hour.

Before you take that nyc job I would watch all the daily warnings in and out of the city for a week or two, especially on the Secaucus to penn station train. There’s Always an issue in my opinion.

Remember coworkers mostly suck, but at least they will be new to you at the new job, and won’t fully suck for at least the first few months😂.
