<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Razor, post: 655283, member: 18742&quot;]A round-trip ticket between Penn Station and Farmingdale (on a Sunday) should cost less than $20.&nbsp; Exact fares are available if you search around on the MTA site green18 linked above.&nbsp; The cab fare from the Farmingdale railroad station to the show might cost more.&nbsp; Be aware that the taxicab companies running out of the LIRR train stations are usually rinky dink affairs with older cars and no meters.&nbsp; They go by some sort of zone system (so does the railroad but they&#039;re not related in any way, shape or form).&nbsp; They will tell you right up-front how much the fare will be, and are a safe way to travel.&nbsp; Nevertheless, I would not engage the driver in any conversation about coins along the way!&nbsp; Just give them the address and don&#039;t mention the coin show at all, although if it takes place on a regular basis they are probably already familiar with it.&nbsp; Just don&#039;t say more than you have to, especially if you are carrying any coins with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Manhattan, you couldn&#039;t pay me to go into any coin (or stamp or gold jewelry or any other collectibles) establishment there (or in Brooklyn, for that matter).&nbsp; They will be trying to take advantage of you one way or another 100% of the time you are there, and simply will not transact any business with you whatsoever unless they come out ahead on the deal by a wide margin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
