People traveling into LaGuardia Airport are more than likely heading to Manhattan. Located just four miles from the airport, Manhattan is a city that requires a car rental and a list of perfect things to do on any given day assembled by locals. The airport offers car rentals, but taxi services and public transportation are also available.
Locals are the perfect source of the ideal things to do list in the city of Manhattan. Activities like people watching at one of the many open parks comes up on nearly every list. But, Manhattan offers much more than just a constant stream of people to watch. Central Park, the Central Park Zoo, MET Museum, Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim are just a few of the hottest local spots. Many locals choose to point their car rental in the direction of an activity / eatery combination.
The Empire State building is a huge tourist attraction. The best restaurant located nearby is a Korean Barbeque on 32nd St. Another popular spot is the Riverside Park which happens to also be the home to the Boat Basin Café. But, if you want to be JUST a tourist without the help of the locals, Coney Island is a fantastic place to start.
Coney Island is an icon in American history. The Cyclone, a shaky wooden roller coaster, is the biggest attraction. Also offered is a huge selection of carnival style food, sideshows, museums and even a sideshow school. No trip to Manhattan would be complete without taking a car rental ride to the beach.
