Here are my tips for how to survive a trip to or from NYC’s LaGuardia airport, always a daunting experience. You will notice the piece is on Mark Bittman’s new New York Times food blog, which you should be reading anyway. Don’t forget these words of mine:
Just think how much you are saving: what’s really scarce in life is your time and the mere willingness to get up and go. Just do it.
Elsewhere in the world of food blogging, there is a new blog on the economics of food and wine.
Can you expand on this for me:
Perhaps I’m mis-reading what you wrote, but are you saying that the steamed pork buns _are_ Shanghai soup dumplings? These seem to be very different dishes.

Between the Queens neighborhoods of Flushing, Jackson Heights, Woodside, and Astoria, you’ve got some of the best food in the world a short cab ride from LaGuardia.
My own personal favorite is Astoria’s Kabab Cafe (somewhat misnamed, as it is neither a cafe nor a kabab place).
A Chowhound.com favorite, Kabab Cafe also has the benefit of being right off the Mighty M-60 bus that runs between LGA, Harlem, and Columbia University. Get off at Steinway Street and walk 1/2 block south.
Chef Ali cooks some great Egyptian related food. It’s small and personal and sometimes cramped (no reservations, either). With drinks, dinner runs about $40/person. 25-12 Steinway St. Astoria, Queens. Closed Mondays.
Sripraphai may have the best Thai food in America! I love that place. They keep getting bigger, but the food stays great. 64-13 39th Ave. Closed Wednesday.
And, to keep things on subject, just a 10-15 min walk under the 7 tracks to or from 75th St and the Q33 to LGA (and Q47 to the Marine Terminal).
