Take the train from EWR and transfer at Penn Station to the LIRR to Jamaica, then Airtrain to JFK/cab to LGA. Remember that the Shuttle, until it goes to mainline again, via the 717 is on a connection carrier. Cost of living is cheaper in ATL than DCA, and you live in the center of the DAL universe. PS, why do I commute? Because it's a choice, where I didn't work a single holiday last year, nor the days before or after to keep the reroute gods at bay.
