I lived in CT for over 7 months and had to fly in and out of LGA to go home to Chicago (which has much nicer airports that are out of reach of the homeless people). Ugh it was awful. Every time I was there I thought I was in a Third World country, which is pretty much the same as the rest of NYC.
Whats especially nice is watching the muslims out on their prayer rugs behind the taxi stand. always puts you in the right mood for a stinky airport and crowded plane.
