Hi I'm going to NYC for thanksgiving weekend. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what the fastest way of getting to manhattan-chelsea would be (with the subway) ...?

Nearest to LGA subway station I'm aware of is over by Shea Stadium, which is a short cab ride. Someone else can give you more info. The stop for Chelsea should be somewhere around 23rd or so.

The closest stops are in Astoria and require a bus transfer
Quoting Marco (Reply 2): I'm staying on 27th between 6th and 7th so that stop seems pretty close by ... however the subway doesn't seem to reach LGA !
The best way would be to take a cab, car service or shuttle.

I guess that's what we'll end up doing. Could you recommend any bus shuttles? I did search but there are alot, I'm not sure which one is the most reliable and best priced?

I don't know if it will help (I'm a little foggy on the location of Chelsea after being out of the New York metro area for 14 years) but there is a van/shuttle to Grand Central from LGA. Then you can catch whatever subway you need.

Just get a taxi. They have flat rates to anywhere in Manhattan. The added expense will make up for the hassle and the pain in the ass of the subway/bus.

Super Shuttle. $15 per person from LGA to Chelsea. If there is more than one of you, take a cab, because it is cheaper.

Actually, the rates from LGA are not flat, rather they are metered. Still, the cost won't go above 25 or so for where he is going.
