Good news! Please come back and let us know when it's done. By then Airbnb may have helped sort out the NYC short-term rental market confusion and I can begin planning a visit. I'd love to visit but dread both LGA & hotel prices.

excellent article and collection of pictures, PH. The Manhattan skyline is always fascinating to look at and the history of it is equally interesting

I'm going to have to agree with the Governor. One must acknowledge a problem before it can be fixed. I believe La Guardia is just about the worst airport I've had the misfortune to use in recent years. I include any number of developing nations in the assessment. Most countries try to encourage tourism by giving a good impression on arrival. Even in places where infrastructure as a whole is lacking, the airports are often clean and new. I sincerely hope the Governor succeeds in this.

Well, fortunately LGA hosts no international flights except to and from Canada, and hey, they're family, right? No need to do heavy cleaning. Seriously, though: It's actually my favorite of all the NY airports. It's compact, I can park easily across the road from the main terminal and the luggage comes faster than at either JFK or EWR.

Then we returned 6 hours later with technical problems. The cash machines soon ran out of Dollars. I even had time to...

On their quest to visit all 50 state capitol buildings, Samantha and her husband feel a spirit of 'aloha' in Honolulu.

Manhattan's skyline is constantly, although the changes are not always instantly obvious, at least not so much as the change between the city's days as a port where the ships lined the shore and the growth of huge buildings clustered together in their...

New York City's Laguardia Airport, one of the nation's busiest despite its small size, has long been known as one of the most cramped and outmoded, with barely room for TSA and passengers to co-exist. Now NY's Governor Cuomo has announced that the...

NY Governor Andrew Cuomo is responding to long-standing criticism of NYC's bottle-necked airports with. He told a recent conference: "...LaGuardia and JFK are inexcusable, frankly, that they have not been redeveloped to keep pace with the best...
