It's right, LaGuardia is in New York City, its in the Boro of Queens. You can reach Manhatan by Taxi, Airport Bus, or even a City bus that cost only $2.00. How long will it take? That depends on the type of transportation and the traffic. It will be less than and hour.

Not sure what you are trying to find out exactly but there are generally 3 airports that people fly into to visit NYC. Newark, which is in New Jersey. JFK which is in Brooklyn, (a burrough of the city) LaGuardia which is in Queens which is also technically NYC. It depends on your final destination. I live in Brooklyn and therefore I rarely fly out of newark - too far. Laguardia is good for upper manhattan or brooklyn and queens. To take public transportation take a bus to the subway, if you don't have a ton of luggage.

LaGuardia IS IN NEW YORK the QUEENS section.. are you talking about how far is the airport from downtown manhatten??
to mid section of manhatten say about 60th street near central park its about a 15-20 minute drive or 6 or 10 miles ...subway probably 25- 30 minutes

It's part of New York City. It's in Queens, right next to Shea Stadium and The National Tennis Center

technically it's not far but it's quite a journey anyway. unless you take a super shuttle or taxi, you have to take a lot of different subway lines and you'll be riding for about an hour and a half (with transfers). Normally that's not so bad but usually if you're going to or from an airport you have baggage, and that gets really heavy and inconvenient when traveling on crowded subway stations..

LGA is in Queens which is one of NYC's five boroughs and where i was born & raised. It was named after Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia
If you have a cab driver that actually knows what the hell he's doing. you should be able to cover the 8.5 miles from the airport to the the Empire State Building in 25-40 minutes.via grand central, BQE South , LIE and queens midtown tunnel- pay toll
IF you tell us where your going there are other tricks we know

I thought the cab fare was only $8 each for a group fare. Thats whats in the rules for NYC taxis online. Its ridiculous that it costs $40 to get from LGA to Manhattan, and there doesn't seem a good way via mass transit. What are they thinking?

La Guardia is only about a 20 - 25 minute cab ride into the city. JFK is about a 45 minute ride...

If you mean manhatten, it could take anywhere from half hour to an hour, depending on traffic, and what part of the city you are in.
If you have to be there at a certain time. leave about an hour 15 min. from anywhere in the city you should get there in time.

If you travel at rush hour, you can be stuck in traffic for a while.
Non rush hour it can be well less than a 60 minute cab ride.
if you are timing a trip to be some place at an exact time, then leave yourself plenty of extra time.
