Cheap way from La Guardia to Brooklyn?
 

Does anyone know about cheap transportation(cab, shuttle, etc.) from La Guardia to Park Slope (Brooklyn)--and back? Any tips? Any other tips on saving money in NY? (transportation, restaurants, entertainment)

A cab from LaGuardia to Park Slope shouldn't cost more than $20...

I would think a cab from Laguardia to Park Slope would cost MORE than 20.00 <BR>(JFK is closer to Bklyn than Laguardia is). <BR>Why not call a car service for an estimate? Try Carmel (1-800-9CARMEL) <BR>or TelAviv (1-212-777-7777--don't know if they have a toll free number, but check <BR>http://www.telavivlimo.com/ for info and discount coupons; Carmel website also has coupons http://www.carmelcarservice.com/)

One more thing: The cheap way to go, of course is by public transportation. Look at the transit authority's info at <BR>http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/service/airport.htm <BR> for connection info. I'm not familiar with the trains from Park Slope to Astoria (though someone here probably can figure it out) but I suspect the whole trip would take an hour or so. <BR>From the M60 bus starting point in <BR>Manhattan (Broadway & 106th) to LaGuardia takes about an hour, FYI. <BR> <BR>As far as other money savings tips, what are you looking for specifically and when will you be here? <BR>For example, there are free concerts in NY virtually everynight over the summer. <BR> <BR>YOu might want to post that part of your request separately as many people will not even look at a "LaGuardia to Bklyn" post... <BR> <BR>Hope this helps! <BR>

Nyer--I beg to differ... <BR> <BR>I live in Brooklyn, and taking a car service to LaGuardia costs me $15-$18, and taking a car service to JFK costs me $26-$30. <BR> <BR>Bonnie, public transportation from LaG to Brooklyn (subway, bus) is a huge pain. Do yourself a favor, and either get a car service (call for estimates) or take a cab...Good luck...dee.
