<icontent>     Hi.    I will be in NYC for 5 days in October.  I am trying to see if it will be possible for me to attend a game in Gaelic Park in Queens on the day we arrive.  We arrive into JFK at 1pm. The game is at 3pm. So, we need to get from JFK to our hotel on 57th Street,check in,dump our bags etc and get to Gaelic Park on 240th st in Queens for 3pm. Is this do-able do you think?  I have seen that the number 1 subway goes from 59th Street to Van Cortlandt Park in Queens (which is the nearest station to Gaelic Park).  Could anyone give me a ballpark indication of how long this journey may take?  Thanks in advance   </icontent>

<rcontent>     Van Cortlant Park is in the Bronx not Queens. Use Hop stop to calculate the time and distance. Be sure to use Manhattan as your borough from your hotel area and Bronx for your destination.    http://www.hopstop.com/?city=newyork   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     I think for most flights from Ireland you go through customs in Ireland so it is possible that you could get out of JFK relatively quickly if that&#39;s the case. I think it&#39;s unlikely you&#39;d make the start of a game at 3 pm, but whatever kind of game it is, you certainly could be there before it ends.  hopstop.com  should give you estimated timing. Make sure to select Bronx for the borough for Van Cortlandt Park.   </rcontent>
