Either is fine...and you want Penn Station, not Broad St.

The PATH is cheaper and runs more frequently. It takes a little longer but they both work.

Assuming you're already at NY Penn Station you should take NJTRANSIT without question.

The PATH is like $4 roundtrip and NJTRANSIT is $7 so the price difference is minimal.

NJTRANSIT trip is 16-17 minutes whereas the PATH is about a good 30 minutes.

Also, as a minor anal point, the PATH is not available from NY Penn Station, it's located down the street at Herald Square. :teach2:

Finally, if you do PATH it from midtown you have to switch trains at Journal Square, whereas NJTRANSIT takes you directly to Newark Penn Station and the home of the team that has won 3 Stanley Cup Championships in the last 13 years.

Take New Jersey Transit from Penn Station New York to Little Egg Harbor then wander around aimlessly for approximately 7-10 hours. You should be at the Rock in no time.

NJT is unquestionably faster and easier. But one note for the ride home: PATH may run a bit more frequently after 9:30 or so. You should check the njtransit.com site for schedule information.

True about NJT. PATH is cheaper but it takes too long to get from 33rd Street so NJT is the best bet. Just DON'T take a Morris/Essex or Montclair-bound train.
