7 hour layover at LaGuardia...

[acura9927]

Why would go to Chinatown, its looks like every Chinatown in North America. Kind of smelly, crowded, dirty. Go see something unique there.

I'd cab it to Union Square and walk around, heading South to SoHo. You mention morning - be aware that most shops don't open until 11am.

And yeah, nobody calls it "The Apple" or "the Big Apple" anymore except for tourists. It's a dead giveaway like Germans in black Socks and Sandals.

This is how rumors get started... There are at least two men's rooms in GC, and they're not bad either. Unlike how they were in the 1970's...

Besides that, use bathrooms in fastfood chains and starbucks.

Other than a cab the fastest way to SoHo is the NQ on 31st street in Astoria or possibly taking the 7 train and transferring to the NQ at Queensboro Plaza

And how is he supposed to get to these trains?

Much easier walking out of the terminal and getting on the bus to Manhattan that stops in front of your face.

Thanks for all the replies and the thoughts, everyone!
But dumb me, I just found out we were laying over at JFK Airport, not LGuardia. Sorry, I got my facts mixed up.

Take the Airtrain to Jamaica $5.00

Take the E train from Jamaica Manhattan bound to West 4th street $2.50

I will be at the McDonald's on the corner when you exit the subway station.

[LeeD]

Thanks, I'll buy you breakfast, Sunday morning around 8.
Wow, $7.50 to get into the city by public transport. Guess I won't complain about our BART, $5 bucks to go 27 miles including under the bay.

Yes, once my hoteling business expands, I plan to expand my tour services accordingly.

Happens all the time when you read travel documents - one day it's LaGuardia, then it's Kennedy, and the next thing you know your connection is at the Jackie O hydrorunway in Central Park.

Jamaica has a strict visa regime for certain classes of visitors.

I will GOAT LeeD thru the Immigrashion line. Then I will bash his glasses in with my KPS88 and buy him new ones with GFOAT anti glare frames at the Cohen's Optical on 33rd Street.

[LeeD]

Thanks for the nice thoughts and advice.
Unfortunately, blind as I am, I haven't worn glasses since 1955, but will look into a pair if you want.

The connection might actually be in Newark, if there even is a connection. But from Dulles International I would bus it into the district and have loaded potato skins at Clyde's on M Street.

[JoelDali]

I think we should immediately taxi LeeD to NTC and film an Epic TT Exo match VS Jolly or some other epic TT GOAT.

[LeeD]

Thanks again...
We're coming home thru Dulles, on Jan15. Layover is 5 hours.
Going to PuertoRico, we're stopping for 7 hours at JFK.

[President]

Lee would you be up for playing tennis during your layover? I'm in NY right now, and I'm sure other TW hitters would love to meet the GOAT too.

[LeeD]

I think Jolly is 4.5 who plays mostly 5.0, is young and strong, but plays about as often as I do...one every 3 weeks.

[sureshs]

So LeeD you will not be posting when you are on vacation, correct?

[LeeD]

Good question.
I didn't last year. Did you miss me for the 3 weeks?
Have only g/f's Dad's computer, and he's on it every time I walk by that room.
I'm sure you can hold up my end.
And great more industry people, as well as some budding pros, are on here.
