Going on Tuesday, what's the easiest way to get into NY from JFK airport? Seen the taxis are about $65 and the bus is about $15 each to Grand Central.
Can't be arsed with the bus if it's going to be a hassle though. |

Woo, I'm going in November. Give us yer tips when you get back Thomas! We're staying near Grand Central so the bus sounds like it'll be a good bet from the airport.

Seen the taxis are about $65 and the bus is about $15 each to Grand Central. | I did that journey about 10 months ago and I think it was $5 for a shuttle type train from JFK to the station where you can get the subway. You're only on the wee train for about 2 mins and after that all you need to pay is your fare to wherever you were going which I doubt would be anywhere near $10 so that's prob cheapest.
(You might know this already, or not be bothered, but there's a CSC somewhere quite far up Broadway if you're missing any games. Girls get in free so have a shave and wear a wig.  ) | |

I'll keep the Broadway one in mind, think we're staying close to there  | |

Jack Dempsey's across from the Empire State building and The Parlour which is pretty near that as well. Probably about 2-3 miles away from the hotels. | |

I had a ridiculously good time.
I'd recommend Big Nick's Burger Joint in the Upper West Side for some heart-attack, disgustingly good food | |

You can probably find a better deal in the UK refurb store. | |
