If I'm going to Times Square, should I fly into LaGuardia or JFK?
Update 8/7/2017: Currently there’s a good reason to fly into JFK or Newark: LaGuardia, the oldest airport in NYC, is currently undergoing massive renovations. While service goes on pretty much as usual, the terminal itself is being taken apart, and temporary spaces are being used for different airlines. My daughter, who lives between the 2 airports, still uses LaGuardia if she’s getting the best fare on, say, Air Canada. She does complain about the condition of the terminal, but it is temporary.Someone below noted just how close they are together. and there’s a negligible difference in distance between the two. Times Square is in Manhattan in another borough. Across the Hudson is huge Newark Airport.An article you may find helpful:JFK, LGA, EWR: Which NYC airport do I pick?Both offer shuttle services for reasonable prices. Right now, LaGuardia is undergoing extensive renovation, so it’s less than attractive. Forget the stupid remarks about Jersey. Actually, much of the information in this isn’t information, it’s opinion, and dumb opinion at that.Many of my friends find which airport has the cheapest flight and base their decision on that.If a person is dedicated to one airline, or has bookings made through work, or is collecting frequent flyer miles, they’d use the airport that has a terminal for their airline.LaGuardia, once the only NYC airport, is showing its age, and has many fewer international flights.Both are large, international airports. LaGuardia is older and smaller, and JFK is huge.Base your choice on your carrier preference, and don’t worry about the rest. Newark has best parking options. JFK has Airtrain. LaGuardia isn’t as intimidating.
What subway to take from Penn Station to Irving Plaza?
My friend, here's how to get from Penn Station to Irving Plaza, which is located at 17 Irving Place between East 15th and East 16th Streets. Step 1: exit Penn Station at 7th Avenue and 34th Street, and walk a block east to Herald Square. Step 2: at Herald Square, enter the 34th Street-Hearld Square station, and take the downtown "N", "R", "Q" or "W" subway lines (Yellow Line on the subway map) from 34th Street to 14th Street-Union Square. Step 3: at Union Square, exit the subway and walk a block east along 14th Street, from the subway station to Irving Place. Turn left on Irving Place and walk a block and a half north along Irving Place from 14th to Irving Plaza. You can't missed the Irving Plaza marquee. I hope this information is very helpful. Good luck and enjoy the show Native New Yorker
