To/From where?

You mention economical first, easy 2nd. The M60 bus runs from LGA to Manhattan - you can see the route and schedule here http://www.mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/manh/m060cur.pdf

The M60 will take you through Harlem to the Columbia Univ. area. Once in Manhattan you can connect to just about anywhere by subway.

Easiest is a taxi, and will run you about $40-45 all totaled.

It depends on where you're going, how much your time is worth and how many you are. There's an Express Bus for $12/person that's good if you're staying near Grand Central or Port Authority and traveling alone. http://www.nyairportservice.com/ Once there are 2 of you, I think it makes more sense to get a taxi or order a car service for a fixed rate. dial7.com The website hopstop.com will give you all the options.

Easy and economical are usually mutually exclusive. How many of you are there and where are you going to/from? That will make a sensible answer easier.

Assuming your destination is on the island of Manhattan, a taxi or car service is your best means of transportation (unless you are truly destitute AND time means nothing to you).

LGA is poorly served by public options.
