I've had instances where I had horrible trouble with baggage claim at LGA and instances where I did not. What nytraveler says is entirely correct. It's a situational problem. But JFK is almost always worse. LGA is no worse or better than any big airport with regard to baggage claim. It's just more run-down.

Thanks for all your responses.
My plane lands at 8pm on a Tuesday. I get free baggage on this flight so I'm checking two bags.
Hope to make it to Midtown by 9:30 or so for drinks and dinner.
Should not be a problem in "the city that never sleeps".

As a first stepI would check the on-time record of that flight - not just the percentage of flights that are late, but how late they are. Also check for time of year - esp if coming from a place with winter storms possible.
If it lands on time 9:30 is possible - if late - who knows what time?
