nope...you'll have to cab it or take the M60 from LGA to Manhattan
with the M60 Bus, you can get the 4,5,6 at 125th and Lex
alternatively, you can take the Q33 into jackson hights and take the F,E,R,V or the 7 into manhattan
for bus shuttles: you can also take this -
New York Airport Service Express Bus:
The fare is $10, which you pay in cash to the bus driver. The busses operate once every twenty to thirty minutes between 6:45am and midnight. For exact schedules call (718) 875-8200. The trip is 40 minutes to an hour and there are several stops in Manhattan:
* Grand Central Terminal, 125 Park Avenue (betw. 40 and 41st Streets)
* Transfer available to hotels between 27th and 59th Streets.
* Air Trans Center located in the Eighth Avenue and 42nd St. Wing of The Port Authority Bus Terminal
* Penn Station, 34th Street (betw. 7th and 8th Avenues)
Express Shuttle USA (formerly Gray Line):
One-way fare is $13. The busses run from 7am to 11:30 pm to locations in Manhattan from 23rd to 96th Streets. When you arrive at the airport, go to the ground transportation desk. A shuttle bus will come to pick you up within twenty minutes of your arrival. For exact schedules call (212) 315-3006 or (800) 451-0455. |

Hey it's not as confusing as "The Loop" and taking buses and trains in chicago? uhm haha NOW THATS CONFUSING.
As per the hotel - yea thats the one in Times Sq - nice hotel - and I didn't know corporate rate in NYC let alone Times SQ, is cheaper than the corporate rate in Chicago. I stayed at the Swissotel in "the loop" and my corporate rate was $250. If you need help with the subways just get a map... |

| the good thing about the subways in manhattan is that they only go uptown and downtown. walking crosstown to places isn't such a stretch |
