Get to know the areas

Garden City and Floral ParkStaying closest to the arena, with a pregame on Tulip Avenue

Stay in the Nassau County villages east of the arena, with restaurants and Islanders-listed bars close by.

Floral Park’s Tulip Avenue and Garden City’s Franklin Avenue and Seventh Street, with bars on the Islanders’ own bar network

To the arena
Take a rideshare to the drop-off on the arena’s north side, reached only from Cross Island Parkway Exit 26D and Green Road, or drive to the parking area you booked.
After the game
Meet your rideshare at the same north-side location, or walk back to your car. Parking closes 90 minutes after the event.
The tradeoff
This guide lists one hotel here, The Garden City Hotel. UBS Arena’s own transit directions cover the train from Manhattan, not these villages, so this guide plans each trip by car or rideshare via the Cross Island Parkway.
