It's actually fairly easy.  Public transit is pretty direct, and so, for
that matter, is driving.  

Personally, I like to drive it... and probably will be doing so.. so, at
very least, I will have room on the way-up at least one of the days (I
tend to stay at a friends place in hackensack when I go to the javits.) 

The good thing about driving: you can park a block or two from the javits
center, ALL DAY for $10.  You don't have to worry about leaving early,
and can hit all the events (read:parties), and hang out with folks. ;) 
And, you can give other people rides should they need them. 

as far as public transit... it's septa r7 to trenton line, transfer to nj
transit, go to... penn station(?) in nyc... then, you can take the subway,
walk, catch a cab, take a bus.. 

I can't say enough about parking in NYC or their subway/public transit
system. I personally love it. (Parking in NYC is a LOT easier than parking
in center city Philadelphia - IMnshO)  And their public transit is about
100 times better than ours, and cheaper. 

Speaking of which, when you get into penn station in NYC look for the
tourist brochure/information booth and pick yourself up the public transit
maps.. they are great... and free.... there are typically two maps... one
for the bus system, and one for the subway system.. they are both
excellent maps of manhattan and NYC.. once you get to know the subways,
you probably wont have to use the busses as all, personally, I just like
using the subways, haven't really figured out using the busses.. but then
again, I've never really had to use them, I can get to a couple of blocks
of wherever I want to go in Manhattan on the Subways.
