Parking at La Guardia LaGuardia Review

Our last trip out of La Guardia we used long term parking for our car. The parking rates were $30 a day which wasn't the best rate but we had no other option.

Arrival Via Cruise Ship Cruise Ship Review

Many New Yorkers foget that NYC is a cruise port. There are cruise ship terminals on the West Side as well as in Brooklyn. NCL, RC, Carnival and Princess all use these ports. My wife and I have sailed out of Brooklyn for a cruise on the Princess line and most recently we did a one night cruise to nowhere on NCL's Jewel.

Subway at night Subway Review

Just some info to help you with late night entrance closures. If the lights at the entrance are red, the gateway is closed. If they are green you can enter from there.

This should help you when getting around at night.

Getting around Taxis Review

The NYC cab system is rather large and proficient. To have the option to just jump a ride when there is a group of you or you are in more of a hurry is great. The cabs are a lot safer than you generally hear and will get you directly to your destination.

LGA LaGuardia Review

My least favorite of the airports serving this great city.

I do find myself here more often than not though as i like the schedule to oakland at 615am via denver.

A smallish 4 or so terminal airport it is very easy to access. You can take the M60 bus from 125th street or the Airporter bus lines from places like GCT and the Port Authority.

Mostly domestic here but not strictly.

EWR Newark Liberty International Review

This is to me what an airport should be. It is connected to the North East Corridor Amtrak and NJT trains. There is fast efficient monorail between the parking areas, the train station, and all the terminals. Only three here now but I have heard of plans to expand.

There are also bus services to the city if the airtrain is too expensive for you. I believe last time i took it it was $11.75 each way.

A full array of Int'l and domestic flights leave and arrive here.

Connecting between NYC airports

I feel this needs to be put out where all can see it. It is NOT an easy thing to connect between NYC airports. Depending on traffic you can take 3 hours between any of them or more.

If you must connect between airports here make sure you have a stop over so you dont have to rush and worry and most likely miss your flight anyway.

My favorite way to get around the city - New York City
My favorite way to get around the city Walking Review

Walking has to be my favorite way to get around this city. You can see the simple little changes as you move through neighborhoods. Find places you weren't looking for but are glad you found. Even a closer or better alternative to whereever you were going.

And for people watching being on the streets is the place to be.

Just be courtious. Stay to the right if you're meandering or walking and gawking. Tourists are great and help the city. But please remember we are late for work in have places to go.
