Because even though it seems like I'd remember, the memory will disappear over time. 1) Sometimes museum cafe's are the best place to eat. Good food, good price. Think Getty Center, Louvre.  The NYC Met is not on that list. Bad, bland food, over-priced. No, no, and no. Think the food at the Balcony Bar is any better? Yes it is. And really small portions. You will go hungry. Solution - eat a sandwich at Pret or 7-Eleven. Then later have wine at the Met's Balcony Bar. 2) Super Shuttle is a good bargain until it's not.

Solution - When arriving after midnight, take a taxi. 3) Going back to JFK for mid-day flights - take the Long Island Railroad from Penn Station to Jamaica station. Transfer to the JFK Air Train. $12.00. 1 Hour. Helpful Tip - Buy both tickets at the same time...
