Getting to my home
We are the closest to the 2/3 trains, and the A/B/C/D trains are just a bit further. We have many convenient bus routes nearby as well. If you are driving, there is ample free street parking on our block and neighboring blocks (we have a car and always find a good parking spot). If you are flying into LaGuardia, the m60 bus will take you just 5 blocks from our house, where you can walk the rest of the way. From other NYC airports, we recommend a cab (not Uber/Lyft).
Nearest airport
LaGuardia (LGA) is a 20-30 minute car ride, and about a 50 minute bus ride.
Getting around
We have restaurants and shops right around the corner and within walking distance on neighboring avenues. We are also about 25 minutes by subway to Midtown Manhattan or hot areas like Chelsea, SoHo, and West Village.
