New York Airports

G'Day all
Thinking about tagging a few days in NY on our way to Nova Scotia next year and was wondering if anybody could recommend the best airport to fly to. Not sure whether it would be JFK or LaGuardia ? Would like to be relatively close to the main attractions.Also, any recommendations for a reasonably priced hotel ? TIA

I'm a bit out of touch these days but thought most international flights went to JFK or Newark and both are a good drive out from Manhattan.

Thanks for the info Prudie, will keep it in mind.

I flew into Newark and for a taxi into the NY (near Madison & 46th) and it costs us about $90 with tolls and tip.

I stayed at the Roosevelt and we found a great little diner (Red Flame) nearby where we did breakfast every morning.

No real frills for the room, small as common in NY (the bed took over most of the room but it was a big bed) but we got a good deal on Expedia. The main reception is lovely, was used for one of the hotels at the end of Maid in Manhatten and a number of other films I think.

Either JFK or Newark. They are both about 40 minutes away from Manhatten. You can get a taxi, train or bus from either airport. Don't worry about which airport to use, just fly to the one that your chosen airline flies to!
