March in NYC with SC Pride and Free Mom Hugs!

Airports LaGuardia (LGA) is the closest and easiest airport to Manhattan, period. From Midtown Manhattan (like Times Square), LGA is about 10 miles away. Without traffic, it’s 20-30 minutes by car. Plan for at least an hour, sometimes more. Trains/Subways do not service Laguardia, but Metro buses do Newark (EWR) is located in New Jersey, about 25 minutes west of Manhattan. The train ride from EWR to NYC’s Penn Station takes about 45 minutes, which makes it super convenient if you’re staying on the West Side of Manhattan or in Midtown. JFK is the furthest from Manhattan. It’s located at the southeastern edge of Queens, and getting to Manhattan from JFK takes the longest. By car, it’s typically 45-60 minutes to Midtown without traffic, and can easily be 90 minutes or more with traffic. The Air Train services JFK. All Airports offer private shuttle services by bus or van and rideshare The way to think about Manhattan is a grid...Avenues run North and South, and Streets run East to West. If you get lost on the subway the best thing to remember is get to Times Square, ALL trains go to Times Square, and you can ‘reset” your trip Subway & Bus Mass transit is the best way to get around.
