Sandwiches At Train Station/airport In Germany

Sandwiches at train station/airport in Germany?

I've been to Germany a couple times. And each time I get these sandwiches they sell at little vender stands at the Train Stations and Airport. I flew into Frankfort am Main, if it's localized.

They are on a white sub, amost the size of a hotdog bun. They have turkey, cucumber and a yogurt type spread.

Could anyone tell me what they are called? And what's the best way to make them at home in the United States?

I sure do miss them.

Train Station in Frankfurt ,Germany Airport

I had to do this last summer. I had a tip from a German friend that ICE tickets are cheaper when you buy them in advance, so a friend and I bought it from the internet on the Deutsche Bahn website (www.bahn.de) . Any credit card will do. Then you have your ICE ticket ready to go, so you do not have to worry about bying it there.

From the airport, you will have to take the S Bahn to the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main station). I believe it will be either the S8 or S9, but you should check that out. The thing I had the most problems with was to buy a ticket for the S-Bahn because I was not familiar with their transportation system.

In Germany, you buy tickets for trains, S Bahns, U Bahns, Trams... from vending machine at every station, and you pay according to where you are and where you want to go. The machine will ask for the number of the destination, Frankfurt is number 50.

You enter 50 and then select einzelfahrt for a one way trip. After paying the asked amount, you will get your ticket.

In the German public transportation, they do not systematically check the tickets (they do in linger distance trains I believe, but not really in S Bahns and even less so in U Bahns, Busses and Trams). However, if you get caught without a ticket, you will have to pay a 40 Euros fine.

In the S Bahn, they announce the next station, so when you hear: nächste hatlestelle, Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, you know it's time to get out.

At the station, there is a screen indicating on which gate your train will be. It indicates the direction and the ICE number. this will be available I believe 30-60 minutes before your departure.

I think that's all.

What does CALLING at such and such station mean when its displayed at train stations? For eg.?

When it says "Calling At" this referrers to all the stations the trains is booked to stop at from Paddington to West Drayton, i have checked and according to the website there is a train that goes from Paddington to Oxford which calls at West Drayton, which then goes onto Oxford or Reading.

First Great Western trains takes approx 20 Min's,

How do i get from Newark airport to Penn station in NYC?

THIS IS MY BEST CHEAPEST OPTION.

Airtrain Newark is only free within terminals only.
Amtrak is very expensive. It cost about $45 to $50.
Airtrain fee is included on New Jersey Transit Ticket Fare travel to New York Penn Station on Northeast Corridor & North Jersey Coast Line.
If you decide to take New Jersey Transit rail, don't purchase on board because if ticket vending machine is operating or window is open,, you must paid $5 surchage.

Best cheapest option is to go this way.
At Terminals A (Bus Courtyard, and C.
Make sure to get on New Jersey Transit #62 Bus toward "Newark" because "Perth Amboy" also circle arounds.
Since Newark Liberty International Airport and Newark Penn Station is within Fare Zone, you only paid $1.35 on it. (US Dollar bill accepted)
It's 22 minutes ride to last stop, Newark Penn Station.
If you plan to take subway, buy $10 or $20 MetroCard paid $.150 (March 2nd, $1.75) at Path Vending Machine.
Take World Trade Center train to Journal Square for 33rd St train across the platform. Do not take train via Hoboken because Journal Sq to 33rd St via Hoboken sit @ Hoboken about 5-minutes.
Once you get to 33rd St-6th Av, Penn Station is one block west.
See the links below before you go.
Enjoy the ride.

What airport is closest to Grand Central Station in NYC?

None of them is right near Grand Central. And all of them are pretty easy to get to from there. Well, perhaps Newark isn't as easy to get to, but there should be shuttle busses from that area to either Laguadia or JFK.

Laguardia is probably closer as the crow flies, but I'm not sure it matters.

I don't think it makes much difference which airport you fly out of. I prefer Laguadia just because it's smaller, but lots of people prefer JFK. See what gives you the best fare, I'd say.
