Short answers to the questions people ask before an evening out in New York. When does it get dark? Can you see the Statue at night? How do you reach a flight in New Jersey? Planning a night tour of new york city? The fares sit side by side there.
Start with the dark times if you are choosing a month or a start time, then the post on the Statue of Liberty, which sets the harbor cruises against the park's own ferry. The airfield post turns the train, the bus and the check-in rules into a plan. The last two go deeper: the view from Dumbo under the Manhattan Bridge, and Greenwich Village after dark. Longer planning pieces are in the guides.
