Transportation from LGA to Manhattan Club

I would like suggestions for transportation from LGA to Manhattan Club. The car service the resort suggests costs $95 one way. Seems like a lot. Would the subway be viable? We have carry on bags only. Also, suggestions on what kind of pass we should by to get around the city for 7 days?

We will be arriving late Sat. afternoon.

Thanks

Public transport is the m60 bus to 106th in Manhattan or 125th And the on to the 1 train to 59th or 50th.

You can purchase a 7 day metro pass, it is for unlimited rides and is $30 plus a $1 fee for the card. In this scenario each person must purchase there own pass.

You can also just load some money on a metro card. In this scenario 1 OR MORE people can the same metro pass.

You can buy at pass at the vending station outside LGA airport, right by the bus stop.

take a look at the NY subway website. It list prices and is actually go for giving you routing options between points.

The M60 route has a lot of stairs up and no elevator, if that is a problem consider taking one of the two routes that take you to the Jackson Heights station (M or R lines). Depending on where you are going in Manhattan you may have to take another subway. Where as the M60 bus to the N or Q lines brings you in to Manhattan at the south end of Central Park.

You can take a New York City Yellow Cab. There is a set fee from LGA to manhattan. It will he less then half of the town car fee. Once in town, you should buy. 7 day metro passes at a subway station. Very easy and handy to use.

Hmmm. Maybe I lied. Here is JFK.
Flat Fare from John F. Kennedy (JFK) Airport:
For trips between (to and from) Manhattan and JFK International Airport, the flat fare is $52.00 plus any tolls using Rate Code 2 on the meter. A NY State Tax Surcharge of $.50 will be added to each trip.

Ways to Go

As a native New Yorker who has travelled from LGA a hundred times. Here are my 2 favorite options.

Inexpensive ($2.50 per person) - Q70 express bus to 74th st Roosevelt subway stop. Stops at all terminals except the Marine Air Terminal. No stops between the airport and subway. This is a new service. At the 74th st station take the F train to 57th and 6th and it is a short walk to the Manhattan Club. Purchase a MetroCard at the terminal to ride the bus. Good with limited luggage.

Moderate- Yellow cab -around $40 dollars including toll and tip. Available outside all terminals. Good choice with moderate to heavy luggage

Or the SuperShuttle, $15 per person, or the Airporter bus, $13 from LGA to Grand Central or the Port Authority.

All the options here:

Thanks, I knew there had to be a cheaper way. You guys are great!

We just got back yesterday from The Manhattan Club. The easiest way to go is a yellow cab.

We took a cab. $40.
