For New Yorkers and tourists alike, getting very far outside the city via public transportation can be more trouble than it’s worth. However, some of the most worthwhile tourist destinations are within reasonable range by car, so it’s worth considering a limo or cab service like New York City’s Riverside Car & Limo. Below are a few great destinations you might want to travel to by car.

3 Tri-State Hotspots Worth Traveling To By Car

Liberty State Park

Located directly across the water from Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, Liberty State Park offers a green oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of New York Harbor with some of the best views of Lower Manhattan. Also located within the park is the Liberty Science Center, an interactive museum with the largest IMAX Dome theater in the United States. Especially if you’re bringing the family, it can be much easier to reach via cab service rather than navigating three separate transit systems.

Paterson Great Falls

Located on the Passaic River in northern New Jersey, the Paterson Great Falls are notable not just for its scenic beauty but for the historical significance of its hydroelectric power potential—around which the town of Paterson was planned in the late 18th century. It’s less than 20 miles from Manhattan, but it can take nearly twice as long to reach via public transport as compared to cab service.

Thomas Edison National Historical Park

Another northern New Jersey attraction much closer to the city via cab service is Thomas Edison’s preserved home and laboratory in West Orange. Visitors can see where the great inventor lived and worked for over 40 years—the birthplace of important innovations like motion pictures, sound recordings, and alkaline batteries.

Cab service can be great for more than just getting to the airport! Your trip to any of these great destinations can be made much simpler by using a cab service like Riverside Car & Limo.
