My partner and I are typically out late in the city (usually Brooklyn) around once a week. Depending on where you are and what time of night, the Uber situation is fine and the best path. You’d be surprised how quick the ride is from deep Brooklyn at 4/5a with no traffic. Sometimes the price can be on the steep side but I’ve also been surprised at how reasonable it is more than a few times.

The path frequencies suck overnight, but otherwise if you check via the path app you can usually plan it pretty well. If we’re taking the path home we always try to time going from wtc to grove rather than on the 33rd street line to avoid the stopover in Hoboken.
