hey - you travellers - is it better to fly into jfk or la guardia? i never remember. i know i can take the city bus from queens into manhattan. how do i get in from lga?


LGA is closer to Manhattan than JFK, but every time I'm going to NYC, it seems like the cheaper flights at the more convenient times are into and out of JFK. JFK is about a $45 cab fare to Manhattan (I think it's a flat rate deal.) Or Supershuttle is about $20. Busses/trains are even less.

thanks. i took the bus into town from jfk last year for $1.25. i think that's a good deal. though, i'm sure i could find a bus from lga, too. i'll save my cab fare for getting around IN the city when my high heels become obnoxious.

Caution with SuperShuttle, though: they invariably stop at 4 to 6 other destinations before stopping at yours, resulting in a 1.5-2 hour odyssey through Manhattan.  Depending on how much gear you're packing, might be worth the extra bucks for the cab.  At least robbery there is on a one-to-one basis.

According to my hit singles book, it charted on 4/78.  Don't know when it was released.

Indeed, a good point. I think my cab fare from LGA to Chelsea on a rainy weeknight at rush hour was 35 bucks.

She was always very political, and she was being burned in effigy outside the hall at the time.  Paddy Chaevsky is the one who dissed her afterwards.

Vanessa Redgrave was nominated for Supporting Actress in Julia, (and Jason Robards, who won for Supporting Actor, was up against Maximillian Schell from the same film*) but she had also produced a documentary on the plight of the Palestinians that year & was widely picketed, said pickets primarily organized by the JDL.

What she said that got booed out was the following: "...a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums whose behavior is an insult tothe stature of Jews all over the world and their great and heroic record of struggle against fascism & oppression.  I salute you and pledge to you that I will continue tofight against anti-Semitism and fascism."

The rebuttal came from Paddy Chayevsky, who was presenting the Orginal & Adapted Screenplay Awards.

The late Mr Chayevsky was a hero to many -- he wrote Marty and Network among many other works.
