金融区 vs. 泽西城:您应该住在哈德逊河的哪一侧?

Quick answer

如果 nightly rate 是决定因素且您不介意每天往返一次 PATH,选择泽西城。若想步行到达目的地,则住金融区更合适。从 John Street 步行 4 分钟到华尔街,5 分钟到海港区,8 分钟到 9/11 纪念馆,15 分钟到炮台公园,且下午回房间不需要耗时一小时。泽西城的确很近(Exchange Place 到世贸中心的 PATH 只需几分钟),但它是另一个州,有自己的列车时刻表,深夜和周末时这一点尤为明显。

真实的版本

人们比较这两个地区主要是看一个数字:每晚房价。泽西城通常比低曼哈顿便宜,有时差距很大,而且距离足够近,地图上看起来几乎是免费。实际上你每天要往返四次。

我们是这么考虑的。PATH 本身的车程很短。Exchange Place 到世贸中心只需几分钟,Grove Street 还要再加一站。耗时的不是乘车,而是整套流程:步行到站、等车、乘车、走出世贸中心大厅,再步行到目的地。实际上每趟门到门大约需要 25 到 35 分钟,每次都是如此,晚上 11 点你疲惫时返回也同样。

四晚两人的行程,大约有四小时花在哈德逊河对岸。是否值得省下的费用,完全取决于你的出行方式。如果你从上午 9 点到晚上 11 点几乎整天都在外,只在酒店睡觉,泽西城就很有意义。如果你有孩子需要午睡、工作间隙或想在晚餐前回房间换衣,住曼哈顿的费用会在你未在预订页面看到的方面得到回报。

还有一点值得了解:PATH 的时刻表在深夜和周末会变化,2 点和上午 9 点的线路并不相同。计划深夜外出前请先查看 PATH 应用,因为最坏的情况是要坐计费隧道的出租车。

我们的立场

我们位于金融区的 John Street,所以并非中立,并且宁愿直说也不想装作无偏。我们要捍卫的具体说法是:从这里步行几乎可以到达所有人来市中心的目的地,而且夜晚结束时你仍在曼哈顿河岸。我们的套房配有厨房,楼内还有洗衣房,这也是预算论点的另一半。如果你考虑泽西城是因为费用,自己做几顿早餐并自行洗衣,就能在不增加列车时间的情况下大幅缩小费用差距。
