LA GUARDIA TO NEW YORK CITY
To get to Manhattan the easiest thing would've been to just jump in a taxi (costs around $30), but I wasn't in a hurry and there was a long line. So instead of waiting or calling one of the inexpensive limo services for the same price (Dial 7: 212-777-7777 or Carmel: 212-666-6666), I jumped on the M60 Bus to 125th Street. It cost $2.25 and came with a free subway transfer, which I used to get to 51st Street. The whole trip took under an hour and was an excellent way to save money.
NEED A METRO CARD
On the bus I met a nice Russian girl (who now lives in Germany) who got on in front of me. She didn't know you needed a metro card to pay (the machines are located inside LGA across from the bus stop). So she wouldn't have to wait for the next bus (every 5-10 minutes), I paid for her. She was appreciative and tried to give me U.S. dollars to cover her fare, but I declined since I wanted to give her a good first impression of New York. It was her first time in America and she was headed to a hostel on 116th. I felt like giving her my room at the Waldorf, but I'm not that welcoming.
