Air train from the airport to Jamaica station is the cheapest. However, it takes forever, it's hot and sweaty, and smells kinda bad. Welcome to new York!

It abso-frickin'-lutely comes alive at nighttime. You'll meet people from all over the world. And the street performers are awesome. Stay away from the hot dog vendors unless you like to spend "vacation time" straddling the porcelain throne. The U.S.S. Enterprise is a worthy visit: it's got the SR-71 Blackbird on it, lots of other planes, and for $20 extra, you can see the Space Shuttle. Lots to do. Take the train to Coney Island; we were lucky enough to ride the "Cyclone" before it got destroyed in a hurricane the next year. You have to go to the Empire State Building, but expect to wait 2 hours in line before you actually get to go out and take in the views. DON'T go to China Town; the vendors dump their unsold seafood down the sewer grates, so it spells awful. Have fun. Take a $100 horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park. Lots to do. Don't rent a car--those damn New York (and New Jersey, mostly) drivers are absolutely insane. You'll love it. Ayaq Elvis9 and Spartacus 1 1 Awards

Take a folded 3" x 7" strip of aluminum foil and place it inside the lining of your wallet--TBB hates those because his scanner was made in the Czech Republic, and not Uzbekistan. Lol.
