Going to NY for first time, is La Guardia airport bad?

[UberEatsDriver]

Found some tickets but it lands in La Gaurdia.

Also what’s a decent place to stay at? I’m doing 4 days.

Finally visiting the Mecca

The new LaGuardia airport is beautiful and it’s closer to Manhattan than JFK

I prefer la guardia to jfk its a lot smaller airport.

You can be walking for days in jfk to reach the street

 

[WTFisWallace?]

I’ve flown in and out of there twice now…only Terminal B tho. It’s newly reconstructed. Seems dope to me.
Easy to navigate, restrooms seemed clean for the most part. A lot of room to seclude yourself if needed. I haven’t eaten at the food court, it seemed like a had good options.


Easy, very short access to the transit area which is super nice. With most airports feels like you’re walking for a mile and half.

Free bus leaving the airport (and maybe going back to, has to be a specific line).

Taking the M60 bus…it’s only about a ride 25min to Harlem. So if you’re going to Manhattan, it’s probably 50-70 minutes, just guessing.




I’ve only done overlays at JFK.

Honesty it’s cuz I was talking to a coworker who is from New York and visits the place twice a year and he mentioned make sure u stop at the jfk and he gave a face when he said that... I just needed to know if it was something to worry about but I’m from the hood and little things don’t really bother me, my gf is going with me though so I have to look out for her to.

I think you'll be fine either way. I flew into whichever is closer to Brooklyn and Manhattan and it didn't bother me none. Something would have to seriously be off for me tho

As far as restaurants…strictly for food, Jacob’s was fire (and cheap) it’s in on Malcolm, a few blocks north of 125th. And you can people watch the street.

Melba’s has great vibe and a dope little ambiance.

The Book of Hov exhibit was cool. The library itself is impressive as well.

I missed it by day, but see if there’s any event going on at the Apollo.


Definitely check out Harlem Nights bar.

@GzUp is your coworker a New Yorker who left NY years ago?

LaGuardia is newly constructed and still not totally complete so maybe he hasn’t seen the new thing yet

The MTA needs to extend the N train to LaGuardia.

The N train goes directly to Times Square, Herald square, Union Square, Soho, Downtown Brooklyn Barclays and Coney Island.

Should be a priority

I do a fair amount of domestic travel, including in and out of LGA. Alright before, but much nicer after the remodel in progress.

The airport is literally brand new now… far better experience than the old airport that was there.. it’s a Marriott and hamptions hotels right across from LaGuardia you can stay at since it’s 4 days your staying… You can Uber into the city for the tourist shyt

Na…. LaGuardia is nice.

Never been to JFK but I enjoyed LaGuardia the few times I traveled up there

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

LGA is cool. Personally I like it better than JFK cause it's a 10-15 min drive from the crib depending on traffic. And a lot easier to travel to/from if I'm taking public transportation.

 

[NoMorePie]

Dunno about LGA but I was at JFK earlier this year for an early morning connect and they told me to go there then over there, it's like no one knew where to put us connect folk

Have fun

 

[Geode]

Lga is actually pretty nice now. Before? I'd rather deplane on the tarmac of a banana republic. I fly out of there often.

 

[MikelArteta]

Sorry to hijack your thread

I'm landing at EWR then have 6 hours to get to jfk

Should I take an Uber? Taxi? Or can I trust the train?

Went to NYC once as a kid, landed there, I remember it looking dirty and seeing a midget for the first time IRL, my dad smacked me on the back of my head for laughing
