PATH trains are available 24 hours a day to and from 33rd, 23rd, 14th, 9th, and Christopher Streets in New York, the Pavonia/Newport and Grove Street stations in Jersey City ,Hoboken (take the JSQ or Newark bound train) and Newark's Penn Station, where direct connections are available to NJ Transit and Amtrak trains. Additionally, several dozen local and long distance bus lines terminate in the Journal Square PATH Center. For more information, call PATH at 1 (800) 234-7284 or NJ Transit at 1 (800) 772-2222.

From North or South -- the NJ Turnpike

Take the New Jersey Turnpike to Exit 15E. Following signs for Jersey City, travel over the Routes 1 & 9 Truck Route North (actually on this stretch you will be traveling east) locally known as Communipaw Avenue. Pass over two draw bridges. Stay to your left. Take the left hand turn-off onto the continuation of Routes 1 & 9 North. Follow for approx.. 1/4 mile, past a cemetery on your right, to the intersection with Sip Avenue. There will be a "Wonder Bagel" shop on your right at the intersection. Turn right at that intersection onto Sip Avenue. Continue on Sip Avenue through the intersection with West Side Avenue, where you'll pass a Rite Aide pharmacy and then a "Twin City" supermarket on your left. Continue through the intersection with Kennedy Boulevard, where you'll see a "VIP Diner" on your right. Immediately after passing through the intersection with Kennedy Boulevard, opposite the VIP Diner, make a left turn onto Tonnelle Avenue. Take Tonnelle Avenue as it crosses back over Kennedy Boulevard. After passing through that intersection with Kennedy Boulevard, less than a quarter of a block further down Tonnelle, make the first right turn you can onto Magnolia Avenue. This is a somewhat narrow, two-way street that appears to be a dead end. In fact, you will be looking at the side wall of the Loew's at the end of the street. Travel down Magnolia until you reach the Theatre; for parking, turn left into Square Ramp Parking Garage. After parking, follow the red pavement and "Walkway" markings alongside the Theatre; continue on the walkway as it narrows to Kennedy Boulevard. Turn left onto Kennedy and the Loew's entrance is a few paces away, next to the "J.C. Police" station.

From the West and North -- Rt. 3 and Kennedy Boulevard

Take Route 3 East and look for sign directing you to Kennedy Boulevard. Follow sign to top of ramp, next to a "Toys R Us" store. Make the right onto Kennedy Boulevard south. Continue on Kennedy Boulevard for approximately four miles to Journal Square. As you approach, you will see a White Castle restaurant on your right and the Stanley Theatre on your left. As you enter Journal Square, you will pass over a bridge, followed by the Loew's Jersey on the right.

From the North -- Rtes. 1 & 9

Take Routes 1 & 9 South, also known in Hudson County as Tonnelle Avenue. (Rtes. 1 & 9 South can also be reached from Rt. 3 East. Look for signs that say either "Routes 1 & 9" or "Jersey City".) After passing signs for the "Lincoln Tunnel" and "Rt. 3", continue south on Rtes. 1 & 9 for approximately two and one half miles until you reach the right hand jug-handle turn off for Manhattan Avenue in Jersey City. (Along the way, you'll pass a "McDonald's" on your left and later an "Efficiency Appliances" on your right.) Follow jug-handle around and cross back over 1 & 9. (There will be a "Dunkin' Donuts" on your right and a restaurant called the "Original Mana" on your left.) Continue up hill on Manhattan Avenue to the second traffic light past Rtes. 1 & 9. This is the intersection with Kennedy Boulevard. Make the right onto Kennedy Boulevard south. The theatre is about a mile to the south. As you approach, you will see a White Castle restaurant on your right and the Stanley Theatre on your left. As you enter Journal Square, you will pass over a bridge, followed by the Loew's Jersey on the right.

From New York -- the Holland Tunnel

Take the Holland Tunnel. After exiting the Tunnel, stay to the left , avoiding signs for the New Jersey Turnpike. After you pass the turn-off for the Turnpike, get over to the right and follow signs for "Jersey City/Kennedy Blvd". Do NOT continue to U.S. 1 & 9. Take ramp for "Jersey City/Kennedy Blvd" and you will come out on Route 139. Continue on 139 for several blocks until you reach a "T" intersection with Kennedy Boulevard. There will be a LukOil gas station on your right. Make a LEFT turn (South) onto Kennedy Boulevard. Continue on Kennedy Blvd for about six blocks. Along the way you will see a White Castle restaurant on your right and the Stanley Theatre on your left. As you enter Journal Square, you will pass over a bridge, followed by the Loew's Jersey on the right.
