Mix of GA, training, and a couple commercial carriers like JetBlue. You can catch a cab to LIRR which will get you into the city. Pretty cheap (~$15/night tiedowns), but did I mention that it's busy? You may burn up 1h of hobbes time on the ground waiting to take off if you depart during peak times. Very busy GA airport abuzz with training. Expect to be the only piston on the ramp. This is a hectic option, but it has a tower and is close to the city, so for a quick overnight stop without fuel it may be the best option. It's the closest airport to midtown, and you'll pay a very pretty penny here, tie-downs are at least \$50/night, and fuel will be around \$9/gallon. KTEB in Teterboro, NJ is the GA airport for most jets that come into the city. Expect very bare bones facilities - you can get fuel, but there's no terminal building to speak of. It's pretty cheap (around $20/night if I recall) and fairly convenient, but the uncontrolled field is under an 800' Class B shelf at Newark and could be stressful. Uncontrolled field, tons of news helicopters based here. It's a 5m cab ride to the train station into the city. As for airports, there are 4 GA airport options you're most likely gonna consider: If they're curt, it's just to keep everyone safe. All of NYC's airspace is crowded, so there's no escaping that! :) The controllers are very friendly and accommodating though, so don't be afraid.
