Confused Jeni asked:
My 2 best girlfriends and I are going on a trip the first week of May, money is tight specially because we want to go shopping and I am getting hitched soon. We are looking for a safe place for three of us but that aint going to hurt our pockets too much we will also be driving up there so if a shuttle to the city is provided thats a plu! Thanks

My friend, depending on your budget may I suggest the following link below.

In regard to driving, there are several parking garages in Jersey City, near the PATH Train stations, where you can park your car. You can take the PATH Train, which is a small commuter railway line from Jersey City to Manhattan. The fare $1.75 one way person.
I’ve included a list and link of station with parking garages near to them.
