90s Con Hartford Transportation
Professional car service for 90s Con 2026 at the Connecticut Convention Center. NYC-to-Hartford transfers, group Sprinter vans for fan clubs and cosplay crews, multi-day convention packages, and curbside drop-off on Columbus Boulevard.
Getting to 90s Con from New York City
90s Con is the largest 1990s nostalgia convention on the East Coast — three days of celebrity panels, photo ops, autograph sessions, and vendor halls packed with memorabilia from the decade that gave us Friends, Fresh Prince, and frosted tips. The 2026 edition takes place October 16-18 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, approximately 120 miles from Midtown Manhattan.
The drive from NYC takes roughly 2 to 2.5 hours via I-95 North to I-91 North, though Friday afternoon departures through Fairfield County can stretch that to 3 hours. The convention center sits on the Hartford waterfront at 100 Columbus Boulevard, directly off I-91 Exit 29A — with curbside drop-off in front of the main entrance and an attached parking garage. True North VIP provides city-to-city transfers from anywhere in the tri-state area directly to the convention center doors.
Vehicles range from executive sedans for solo travelers to Cadillac Escalade ESVs for groups of up to 6, and Mercedes Sprinter vans for fan clubs and cosplay groups of up to 14. Multi-day packages cover the full weekend with consistent chauffeur assignment, daily hotel shuttles in Hartford, and a return trip to NYC on Sunday evening.

NYC to Hartford Route Logistics
What to expect on the ~120-mile drive from New York to the Connecticut Convention Center.
Primary Route
I-95 N → I-91 N → Exit 29A
The standard corridor from NYC through Stamford, Bridgeport, New Haven, then north on I-91 to Hartford. 2-2.5 hours in normal traffic.
Alternate Route
I-684 N → Route 84 E
When I-95 is congested through Fairfield County, your chauffeur may route via the Hutchinson River Parkway to I-684 north, then I-84 east into Hartford. Adds ~10 miles but avoids coastal traffic.
Friday Departure Timing
Leave before 2 PM or after 7 PM
I-95 through Stamford and Greenwich backs up heavily on Friday afternoons. An early departure or post-rush-hour start avoids the worst congestion.
Convention Center Drop-off
100 Columbus Blvd, Hartford
Curbside drop-off directly in front of the main entrance. The attached garage has entrances on Mechanic and Potter Streets for overflow.
Hartford Hotels
Downtown & waterfront clusters
Major convention hotels are within 5 minutes of the convention center. Your chauffeur handles daily hotel-to-venue shuttles if booked for a multi-day package.
Sunday Return
Hartford → NYC evening
Sunday convention wrap is typically mid-afternoon. Return trips to Manhattan take ~2 hours with lighter Sunday evening traffic on I-91 and I-95.
