Airport transportation in Washington Heights

A borough of Upper Manhattan, Washington Heights is only 5-7 blocks wide, offering a narrow strip of land that offers easy access to both the Hudson and Harlem Rivers. Containing the quaint residential neighborhood of Hudson Heights, busy cafés around Yeshiva University, and the last few attractions at the end of Broadway, the far north escape is not only a resting ground for post-downtown fun but a myriad of low-key gems. See it all by reserving the perfect ride from JFK or even LGA, arriving to Harlem’s late-night Jazz scene in a stretched limousine or getting to your flight on-time and without hassle with a shuttle.

An area not particularly known for its hotels, what lodging you can find in Washington Heights is considered a lucky feat. The best choice is Edge Hotel, located on 168th Street and offering free breakfast, modern rooms, and close access to High Bridge Park, while more low-key options include the historic Museum Bed and Breakfast, an old townhome that turns each room into a living exhibit. Another popular stay is Hotel Cliff, an especially busy spot due to its same-street access as Yeshiva University and balconied views that look out on the Harlem River.

Start your exploration of the neighborhood at Fort Washington Park, home to historic landmarks like The Little Red Lighthouse, George Washington Bridge, and the Hudson River Greenway, which you can take north to access Inspiration Point’s famous 11-beam plaza as well as the stone bridges and lookouts of Fort Tryon. Head a few blocks east to experience High Bridge Park next, enjoying relaxed trails along the Harlem River, each leading to renowned sights like the John T. Brush Stairway, which leads to the top of Mount Morris, where the oldest house in Manhattan (Morris-Jumel Mansion) rests. Last but not least, grab a bite at Malecon, by far Washington Heights’ most popular eatery due to its famous garlic-rotisserie chicken.
