Central Terminal Area, John F. Kennedy International Airport

The city’s largest airport does have a surrounding neighborhood, though who would want to live by such a major international travel monstrosity is beyond me. The neighborhood isn’t the loveliest of places – it’s a bit run down, and there isn’t much in the way of commerce besides the staples of New York City culture (the corner grocery store, the Laundromat, etc.). Besides that, the neighborhood is a quite a distance into the city, so it isn’t recommended that tourists stay way out here. The airport does typically offer a good bargain for those who want to take a cab into Manhattan, but those who are traveling to even the neighboring borough of Brooklyn may end up paying much more than those on their way into the city.
