New York Islanders vs Chicago Blackhawks: getting to the arena

The simplest way from Manhattan is the Long Island Rail Road, with event trains to the Belmont Park station, usually changing at Jamaica; allow about an hour. Driving is possible but parking and parkway traffic are heavy. Arrive 45 minutes early to enjoy the plaza and food options without queueing at security. Evening games usually start around 7:00 or 7:30 pm, and the return trains leave shortly after the final horn, so plan your exit.
