Because New York City has so much to offer, The Nest Climate Campus has crafted a list of recommended hotels, transportation, activities, and restaurants for you to enjoy.
HOTELS
Though there are many other hotels and short-term rentals such as VRBO and Airbnb, we have selected these hotels based on their proximity to the Javits Center, as well as their contribution to sustainability within the hospitality industry.
As an insider’s tip from we New Yorkers, the hotels situated in the most vibrant neighborhoods accessible to a variety of restaurants, theaters, and attractions are located in the zone that is 9-14 blocks from the Javits Center.
Most hotels and restaurants will require a vaccine card upon arrival.
Ask your hotel for Senior, Government, AAA Membership, and Military discounts prior to booking.

Take the 7 Line to the last stop at Hudson Yards.
NY Waterway Ferry is the best way to get to the Javits Center from 7 New Jersey Terminals to the Midtown slip at West 39th St. It’s about a 15-minute walk to the Javits Center from the landing dock.
If you are parking for the day, there are a variety of parking lots surrounding the Javits Center. Try to drive the smallest vehicle possible, as some garages charge extra for pick-up trucks, vans and SUVs.
Across the street from the Javits Center
One of the many free entries to the High Line is across the street from the Javits Convention Center on 34 Street between 11 and 12 Avenues (middle of the block, south side of street)!
Once an industrial infrastructure and built on a historic elevated rail line, the High Line is intended to be more than a park. You can walk through gardens, view art, experience a performance, savor delicious food, or see the Hudson River all while enjoying a unique perspective of New York City.
7 Blocks from the Javits Center
This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city. Their design consists of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs - almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings.
