Local Travel

Long Island has minimal public transportation so you should expect to either rent a car, or take taxi cabs if you are staying on Long Island. Those who choose to stay in Manhattan may take the Long Island Railroad from Penn Station. We are located 1/4 mile from the East Williston station on the Oyster Bay Line.
