Default NYC Crashpads

I find myself one of the lucky 400+ to be coming back. Was previously NYC based in 2018, but wasn't a fan of my C pad by LGA. Can anyone point me or send me a PM with ideas on where to go? I don't want to hotel it either due to the shellacking I think we'll have in the summer, and I'll be on reserve on the 7ER. Ideally something by JFK or Howard Beach would be ideal.

PM sent. I have experience with one crashpad I used in the Kew Gardens area. It worked for me. YMMV

For the Er, I would recommend to look for one in ozone park, you’ll have accessibility to the Airtrain to JFK and save a lot of money.

I’m in kew, but I’m in the ABus, so halfway to jfk and lga works for me. If I get the 330 or 765 later, I’ll move to a jfk pad.

To tag along the OPs post, I’ll be looking for one as well. NYC 73N. I’m thinking closer to JFK or between LGA and JFK would be a better idea? I was also considering air bnb or hotels. Any insight is appreciated.

For anyone looking I’ve been in 4 different ones in 5 years. But 3 of those were in the first year and have been in the one I’m in now for almost 4 years. PM if you’re interested. We have 1 spot.

Can anyone chime in on prices here. I’ve been watching the rental rates in the area and the 1 year leases are the cheapest they’ve ever been.

$300 is the normal price for KewGardens. I’ve hear $250-275 closer to JFK or LGA.

$275-325 in Howard Beach.

I’ve been in both Kew and Howard Beach.

Kew has more stuff around...Dani’s Pizza...Bakers Dozen for a killer breakfast bagel sandwich... but travel to/from can be a hassle.

Not as much around Howard Beach, but there is a small grocery store, chinese food, CrossFit gym that allows drops in, and Ive had lots of food delivered via uber eats. Airtrain is 24/7.
