Laguardia Help!

What are my options for ground transportation from Laguardia to the Hampton Inn FInancial Dst/Pearl St.

I am comfortable with taking public transportation, but would also do a limo/shuttle if the price is right...

thanks in advance!!!

You could take an express bus to Penn Station for $12/person and then either a subway or taxi from there. Not sure which subway stop that would be closest to. Here%26#39;s the info on the airport bus.

Given how close LGA is to the city, I%26#39;d just takea taxi. The fare should be about $35.

This topic comes up on the forum on a regular basis and it seems that most people would agree that a taxi is the best way to go. I strongly suggest that you stay away from the Super Shuttle. We used it last summer and it was somewhat of a nightmare. If you search super shuttle on this forum, you will see that I%26#39;m not the only one who feels that way. How many people are in your party? The more people, the more economical it is because the taxi fare is not per person. Whichever you decide on, enjoy!

I LOVE NYC public transportation and no, I%26#39;m not a crazy person! :)

We always arrive in Laguardia and take public transpo. We grab a bus right outside the door, take that into Queens, hop on the subway and arrive straight at Grand Central. It takes about an hour but it%26#39;s fun to me. Plus, you get to see Queens (which we normally don%26#39;t see because we don%26#39;t venture out from Manhattan) and seeing the skyscrapers of Manhattan the whole ride just really gets me so excited!

Don%26#39;t try taking Public Trans with full luggage in tow

If you just have a carry on , that%26#39;s fine

Taxi to Manhattan from LaGuardia or JFK is a set price

I believe it is $35

JFK to Manhattan - fixed rate is $45.

LGA to Manhattan - you pay the metered rate.

Yes, I%26#39;d agree about not taking public transportation if you have a lot of luggage. I%26#39;ve seen people do it and it%26#39;s just awful in those cramped bus aisles and packed subways.

We always just take a backpack each per Rick Steves. :) If necessary, we do a load of laundry (which allows us to fantasize for a couple of hours that we are New Yorkers out doing our laundry instead of just visitors).

Unlike most tourists, I%26#39;m sure, we attempt to save money where we can so that we may visit more museums and such. ALWAYS public transpo, NO taxis, McDonald%26#39;s/Subway/etc. for lunch and then a local restaurant for dinner.
