This, in our opinion, is the best way to get to and from the airport as it is door to door and relatively inexpensive and you don't need to lug bags around,Tip 2: For breakfast we took a short walk up east 42nd street to a KFC/Tim Horton (between Grand Central and TGI Fridays) and had an excellent breakfast bagel, hash brown and very large cup of coffee (and very nice too for NY standards) for $12 for 2 of us, excellent value and kept us going for the whole morning.
