Since my daughter moved from Chicago to New York I finally visited this inspiring city and, like Thomas Wolfe described <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“One belongs to New York instantly”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That was certainly the case. Off course we are still in Covid-19 times, that’s why I’ve written very little about travel destinations in the last year, but with the vaccin campaigns starting, we have new hope to be able to travel again. Maybe it’s better to plan a next trip in your own country, but still I hope my tips can help you in your own region. However, if you visit New York I think you will say “New York, that’s my town.”<\/p>\n

The first time you pass one of the bridges on your way from the airport to the city you can understand everybody’s enthusiasm. Where to start exploring the city?\u00a0 I had a personal guide (daughter Janneke) and I hope to be your guide in this article. A first impression of what to do in NY.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Transportation<\/h2>\n

From JFK to downtown Manhattan you can use public transportation. First the AirTrain (free unless your trip ends at Jamaica or Howards End stations) on these two stations you can find Metrocard ticket Machines. Take the Subway to your Manhattan location. (costs less than $15).<\/p>\n

A Taxi or Uber are the alternatives. Especially great if you have heavy luggage or if the journey has been very tiring. For Terminals 1-4, head outside from arrivals or baggage claim for the Uber (outside baggage claim for Terminal 5). Fee’s are described on many sites as $52. But be aware that traffic can cost you quite some time, so an extra fee has to be paid. ($85 to $100 in total is no exception).<\/p>\n
