Arriving by car or taxi, enter the Institute through its main entrance lobby at 1051 Riverside Drive or cross the pedestrian bridge from Haven Avenue & West 168 Street via the Kolb Research Annex.

Either way, you will see our central atrium. The most direct way to NYSPI from most locations is to follow directions leading to the George Washington Bridge, then exit onto the Henry Hudson Parkway, and then onto Riverside Drive (south). From there, continue south and turn right into the curved drop-off driveway. No visitor parking is available.
