      The Bronx has Yankee Stadium and nothing else. To be fair, the zoo is supposed to be excellent, but that's not really a reason to visit unless you have kids.

      I went to Staten Island just to say I'd been there. Literally just walked around the ferry terminal and then went back to Manhattan. To their credit, however, their 9/11 memorial is actually finished and quite affecting, in a low-key way.

      • Also, the Admiral's Club is quite nice, and my taxi to and from is comped, so no real problems with JFK...

            I know it doesn't mean much but he's the only famous Jersey City resident I know... Joe Budden is form Jersey City and he doesn't claim NYC. He claims Jersey City.


            And at KH... I have heard tell of the boroughs besides Manhatten but I would never dare step into those lands filled with pathetic peasants.

                LGA is the worst airport I've ever been to. Every flight I've had departing from LGA was either hours late or cancelled altogether. And the airport is far too small for the volume, it's grossly overcrowded.

                  It is indeed terrible, but JFK is worse unless you have a comped taxi.

                  Every flight I've had departing from LGA was either hours late or cancelled altogether.



                  That's pretty much universal for NYC airports.

                    I've never not had a comped Taxi, so I prefer Newark or JFK every time to LGA.

                    That's pretty much a universal thing for NYC airports.
                    Had no issues in Newark or JFK (only went to JFK twice, though). It's my understanding LGA has far more delays than the others due to its position, something to do with winds.

                    • LGA's only redeeming feature for me is it's where I got to meet Romeo Dallaire when we shared the same cancelled Air Canada flight to Toronto.

                            Upper Manhattan looks down on Brooklyn, as well.

                              Baltimore? I'm sure KH rues the days that he spent in Baltimore.
