Pro Tip: Take the Q70 LaGuardia Link to the 7 Train
Since LGA has no direct rail, the Q70 LaGuardia Link (free) to Jackson Heights subway stations + 7 train to Midtown is typically faster than driving during peak Grand Central Parkway congestion. Use TrafficVision cameras on the Grand Central Parkway and BQE to verify driving conditions.
