Yelp reviews of New York’s travel hubs.


LaGuardia Airport "Terminal B is probably the most depressing place ever.� Kenny C., Brooklyn �If there was one word I could use to sum it up it would probably be � scuzzy. Yup, scuzzy fits the bill � I feel like I need to take a long hot shower after coming out of this airport.� Faiza K., North York, Ontario �La Guardia is the definition of hell.� Stephanie Q., New York, New York �The baggage-claim area stunk to high heaven.� Jaimee A., Manhattan �The fact is I’ve been to Third World airports and they are far better than LGA.� David N., Brooklyn

Port Authority �Typically, I like to break my reviews into categories, offer a brief summary followed by a detailed review and share overall conclusions. No need for any of that here � I can summarize my advice on passing through Port Authority in a single word: DON’T.� Adam H., Toronto �Observe all the buckets catching water drips during the next rainstorm � just classic!� Paul M., Wayne, New Jersey �Images of expressionless hurdles of humans in a rush trampling over everybody and anybody with an ever-haunting smell of piss. Every now and then, you can catch the terror in someone’s face who didn’t know not to come here.� Daya A., Queens �A great and terrible evil resides in this place. Something dark, foul, something that shakes one’s fortitude to its core.� Sean E., Centerport, New York

Penn Station �Dim, confusing, low, catacombs, and a horrible nervous lethargy of both passengers and travelers alike. Me not like. At all.� John B., Manhattan �Intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy will never make contact with Earth for as long as this place exists. It’s just too much of a risk that their advanced species would somehow be destroyed if it came into contact with such blight and awfulness.� Christopher K., East Brunswick, New Jersey �It smelled bad and I guess that’s normal for New York. I still don’t like that.� Shareen K., Salt Lake City
