The total trip to Princeton Record Exchange,
including transfer, takes 90 minutes or less from Penn Station, Manhattan.
Both NJ Transit and Amtrak trains leave from Penn Station
(34th St. and 8th Ave) and arrive at Princeton Junction which
is within a few miles of Princeton Record Exchange.
From Princeton
Junction you have a few options to get to our store.
- You may take a smaller shuttle train (called "the
dinky") to Princeton's local train station. This
shuttle train meets the incoming trains from New York
City as well as outgoing trains to New York City and
takes about 5 minutes.
- From the local Princeton station, take a 8
minute walk (see map and step by step directions below), or a short taxi ride (for around
$8) to our store.
- Alternatively,
you may take a taxi directly from Princeton Junction (for
around $15).
Amtrak
provides the fastest service to Princeton Junction, but
because their trains are infrequent and significantly
more expensive,
we recommend using New Jersey Transit, Northeast Corridor
Line.
The New Jersey transit trains run approximately every half
hour on weekdays (more during rush hours) and between every
half hour and every hour on weekends. For a current New
Jersey Transit schedule, please click here.
