LOCATION:

The 2010 Eastern Auditory Retreat will be held in the Schapiro Center for Engineering and Physical Science Research (CEPSR) building on Columbia University’s main campus. You can find it on a map of Columbia University under “Schapiro Center.” The red dots on the map indicate the locations of the subway at 110^th and 116^th Streets. The subway stop at 116^th Street and Broadway is the most convenient.

GETTING THERE:

Transportation by train and subway:

Many trains come into Pennsylvania Station, at 34^th Street and 8^th Avenue. From there take the #1 subway uptown to 116^th Street.

If you come into Grand Central Station, take the shuttle or the #7 subway to Times Square, where you can catch the #1 uptown to 116^th Street.

Some trains coming from the north stop at Harlem’s 125^th Street Station before continuing on to Grand Central. From this station, walk three blocks west, to the 2 and 3 subways. Take either the 2 or 3 downtown to 96^th Street and transfer to the uptown #1. Take the #1 to 116^th Street.

Cabs: There are taxi-cab stands at the major trains stations and it is also fine to flag a cab on the street.

If you choose to drive: Parking:  Street parking in New York City is limited. There is metered parking on Broadway but those spots fill up quickly. Parking garages also tend to fill up.
