Located at 125 Seventh Ave, Webster Hall is easily available by Subway or Bus (or of course New York’s famous yellow taxis, or Uber or Lyft).

App for Public Transportation Options
Check https://moovitapp.com/ for precise public transportation options to and from where you are to Webster Hall: 125 East 11th St. (betw. 3rd & 4th Ave)

Subway: Webster Hall is a 4 minute walk from the 8th St Astor Place station and an 11 minute walk from the 14th St Union Square station. 

Bus: 
The M1, M101, M102, M103 and M2 all stop very near Webster Hall which is on 11th St between 3rd and 4th Avenues.

Parking: Consider using apps like SpotHero or Park Whiz to reserve spots, or check out options like 85 Wanamaker Pl or 60 E 12th St valet garage. Leave plenty of time if you plan to drive in – and don’t forget that congestion pricing (CP) is now in effect and Webster Hall is located in the CP zone, so you will be charged a toll for driving into the neighborhood.

***  Many conference participants are staying at the Moxy Hotel, right across the street from Webster Hall. At last look there are still a few rooms available there – easy walking distance!!  ***

Cathédrale is a French-Mediterranean restaurant by Tao Group Hospitality Chef/Partner Ralph Scamardella, in collaboration with Executive Chef Jason Hall (formerly of acclaimed restaurants like Gotham Bar & Grill, Anthos and Craft). The menu brings elemental, ingredient-driven cooking to the forefront, evoking the grandeur of the past while remaining contemporary in its execution. Dishes put pleasure over spectacle, taking inspiration from Southern France with traces of Italy, Spain and Greece as seen in our signature Potato Chip Omelette, Black Truffle Fettuccine, 14oz Entrecôte Au Poivre, as well as our 48 oz Mishima Reserve Wagyu Tomahawk. Read More
