The address is 2047 26th Street, Astoria, NY 11105.

By subway

The closest subway station to my home is the Ditmars Blvd. station of line N. It is about 7 minutes walk to my house from this station. A subway ride costs USD 1.50 and tokens can be bought at every station.

From JFK by subway

From the airport terminal take the free shuttle bus to the subway station. Take the A-train in the direction of Manhattan. Change to the uptown 4 or 5 at Bway-Nassau and change to the Queens-bound N at 59th Street. In total it takes about an hour and 45 minutes, so if you can afford a taxi, I strongly suggest you take one.

A word about safety

26th Street is part of Astoria, which is a residential area, with a lot of Greek restaurants. Even late at night it is very safe. If you do not feel 100 percent comfortable, just give me a call at 917 597 0719 from the station platform and I will come and pick you up.

On foot

The house is on 26th Street, between 21st and 20th Avenue.

From the Ditmars Boulevard subway station

Coming out of the subway, walk north on 31st Street, cross Ditmars Blvd and continue until 21st Avenue, where you should take a left. Go right on 26th Street and my house is halfway up the block on the right side.

By taxi

Tell the driver you are going to Astoria, to 26th Street, between 20th and 21th Avenue. If for some obscure reason he does not know Astoria, you can tell him that it is between Manhattan and LaGuardia airport. From Manhattan it's about a 15 dollar ride if you take the Queensboro Bridge. From JFK airport it is about USD 25.00 and a 30 minutes ride depending on the traffic. From LaGuardia it is about 6 minutes, but most taxi drivers will not be happy with such a short ride and might refuse to take you. It is better to give me a call when you arrive so I can come and pick you up.


By car

Driving into Manhattan is kind of silly, but to Astoria is no problem at all. Just follow these directions. It is easy to find parking on the street in front of the house.
