Description: OASIS ECF Technical Committee Face to Face Meeting Logistics
September 21-22, 2006
New York, NY
Location:
Wolters Kluwer
13th Floor
76 9th Avenue (at corner of 15th Street)
New York, NY 10011
Security desk on 1st floor will need a photo ID and will let you up to
13.
Receptionist on 13th floor will direct you to the Boardroom for meeting.
Getting into town:
There are 3 major airports serving NY (JFK, LaGuardia, Newark). You can
fly in or out of any one of them and get a taxi into the city for the
same flat fee of $45. You can also call for a limo at 212-777-7777 and
it will run you about $47 but you need to make a reservation in advance.
There are also airport shuttle buses that will take you into town but
will not in all cases take you right where you want to go (check out
http://www.nyairportservice.com/, for $15 they will take you to Grand
Central, Penn Station, or the Port Authority, if your hotel is nearby
you can just walk).
If you happen to want to drive into the city parking is abundant but
very expensive, overnight around $100 or more.
Area Hotels:
There are 2 hotels across the street from our building. The Gansevoort
is a very trendy and pricey boutique hotel. The Maritime is cheaper but
not cheap. The neighborhood is very hip so either one would be an
interesting place to stay.
Hotel Gansevoort
18 9th Ave

From $700 to $1000 a night
Maritime Hotel
363 West 16th Street

Other Hotels:
These hotels are in midtown or nearby area, I cannot vouch for them as I
have never stayed in any of them, however, I know the Hilton well and
it is a nice hotel. They range from very reasonable at $132 to luxury at
$539. There are literally dozens of other hotels to choose from if you
look on the web. In my opinion there is not a bad neighborhood in
Manhattan but midtown is probably the most convenient overall.

Getting around:
Wolters Kluwer is in Chelsea, we are directly on the A, C, E subway,
take the 14th Street station and walk over to the 15th and 9th entrance
one block West. You can also take the 1,2,3 or F line on 7th ave or 6th
ave respectively and again take the 14th Street station and walk over.
If you are staying on the East side get to Grand Central and take the
4,5,6 to Union Square and transfer to the L train towards 8th Avenue
14th Street station and once again walk over.
If you stay in midtown or other area you can typically walk to the
subway in about 5 minutes and it will take about 15 minutes to get down
to 14th Street and another 5-10 minutes depending on what line you are
on to walk to the building.
Taxis in NY are abundant. You can usually get around town for about 5 to
15 dollars.
If the weather is nice you can also walk from midtown or anywhere, from
midtown it will take you about a half hour.
Meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m on Thursday and end by 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
