As everyone knows, Bridge and Tunnel refers to New Jersey and Long Island, which also includes Queens and Brooklyn. It does not refer to Westchester County for complicated reasons too complicated to explain here due to their complicated nature.

That's right. Westchester is just the "'burbs".
So, as far as my original question goes, long answer short is No.
I'm just messing with you old man.
...and just to close the loop:
that's why heycal calls the city the "Big Apple".
ok. enough heycal ribbing. Back to useless travel tips for LeeD.
Heycal, I'm 63 and 10 months.
G/F is 42, head scientist for USDA's microbiology floor in Albany Ca.

This is a subjective concept, but I would lean toward a definition that embodies daily or otherwise regular periodic commute into Manhattan by persons for primarily economic benefit while failing to assimilate with the culture of the target area of the commute.
So you're 64 years old and dirt poor, and you snagged a girlfriend 22 years younger? Nicely done!
Problem with dating older women is that they are mostly sedentary, don't do anything fun or explosive (sports guys), want to go kayaking or standup paddle, while I"m into windsurfing, snowboarding, and surfing...and a little tennis on the side.
The yoga thing is a given, as most fit women seem to like it.
I"m not fit at all. I'm skinny, not fit.
Keep talking like this, boys, and I'm going to ask you to meet me under the clock of the Biltmore so I can teach you some manners.

Not always true, LeeD. As a matter of fact, I need to hang out with my ex-gf, whose 7 years older than me, if I want to play tennis or platform/paddle tennis, etc, whereas you couldn't pay my young girlfriend enough to put down the magazines and the bons bons and do something sporty.
Hi guys...and gals.
Flying to PuertoRico on the 15th his month, layover at LaGuardia NY. for 7 hours. Is it feasible to bus/train it in to the Village or Soho? And eat there and get back to the airport in time?
Or is another breakfast destination closer a better idea.
I haven't been to the Apple since 1989.
Your current GF lets you play with your Ex?

I"m 2 months from 64.
Add seven years for a possible older g/f.... I get 71.
That might be a little old for snowboarding, windsurfing, surfing, or biking, but maybe not.
Seems a little old for ATTRACTION from me though..... I don't look seriously at 20 year olds. Gotta be at least 30.
Most people say I look 45. Thanks, I know it's a stretch, but a compliment.
SEVENTY ONE? Nah, I'll pass.
Menopause must be eradicated. It's destroying 3.5 mixed combo league.
LeeD is in PuertoRico and will not be posting for a few weeks.

Still alive, passed my 64th, made it home fine with a 6 hour layover in Atlanta Airport.
Playing a little tennis, windsurfing is just starting up, bought a Bio300T just to see if it really serves big...so far NO NO, my Aero500 serves bigger.
Working on the house, g/f is 42 going on 43 this year. Up and down relationship, as per usual when women are involved.
Show up for what?
It was 42 degrees, 6AM in the morning, light snow, I had no tennis rackets with me, and heading for 82 degree days and 70 degree nights in PuertoRico.
I'd be a dummy to take a cab to Manhattan at that time, or fight the trains.
You had a seven hour layover Lee? Ah, too bad because you could've maxed out your layover by buzzing down the NJ Turnpike, I-95, etc. to Philadelphia (only 1 hr. 50 min. away), grabbed a Philly cheese steak at either Geno's or Pat's, stopped off "next door" in Camden to see their Performing Arts Center (a "don't miss!"), their art galleries and new-age spas and make it back to LGA with time to spare. Btw, as lovely as Camden is in the summer, it is absolutely drop dead georgeous in the winter.Yup.
Walked every inch of each of the sections, watching the light snow fall.
Knowing we were landing that night in 71 degree nighttime temps and Caribbean days.
Last time in the Apple was in '89.
It's the gleaming 500 lb. civic gorilla shining in the corner - how could such a gloriously incandescent metropolis not come to the forefront of any discussion having a "municipal" bent to it?I was waiting for someone to bring up Camden.

Philadelphia to Chicago: "hey 'Big Shoulders' .... we got our own Gary!"
(sidebar to heycal): I believe the Dutchess denizens refer to Newburgh as Camden-on-Hudson. Me? I only wish Camden was not located right across the Delaware River from Philly but directly across the Potomic River from Washington, D.C. .... and let the parasitic cocktail party crowd on Capitol Hill (from both sides of the aisle) get a good in-your-face look at the urban failures they cultivate, perpetuate and then flat out ignore in favor of some special interest, agenda-driven "more important" social issue. (all camden kidding aside, don't get me started - allowing these ghost cities to exist is a national disgrace). end of rant.
