Default GA friendly airport in NYC

wrote in
oups.com:

Hello,

I'm thinking about taking a trip to NYC for a weekend... I've never
been so I would be looking to do some touristy stuff. I am wondering
where the best (closest to transportation, no landing fees, good
service) airport would be for me to go to?

Any help would be appreciated!

I can't help you with airports, but if your looking for touristy
stuff to do, I can recommend the 3 hour boat tour which circles Manhattan.
Web referance for CircleLine tours is
http://www.circleline42.com/

Also see the South Street Seaport Museum, with its aircraft carrier
and a Concorde. Web site is http://www.southstseaport.org/

If you are interested in musuems, there are many. One of the more
unique art museums is the Guggenheim. You take the elevator to the top and
then walk down the spiral gallery back to the ground. Another one I like,
but is not as well known, is the Cloisters, part of the NY Metropoliton
Muesuem of Art. Located at the northern tip of Manhatton, Fort Tryon Park,
and overlooking the Hudson, it has a great collection of medieval art,
suits of armor, etc.

Another classic tourist attraction is to catch a show at Radio City
Music Hall. You didn't say when you were going, but their Christmas
Spectacular starts in early November, Web site at
http://www.radiocity.com/

Hope this helps.
