Reyeslv Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Is it possible to get off a plane at 3:45 and make it to Smith Street by 5 pm? I haven't spent much time in NYC... It's possible, Depends on your baggage and the taxi line.

But that tattoo gods could be looking out for you and it might work out. kimkong 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1957-smith-street-tattoo/?page=4#findComment-93776 Share on other sites More sharing options...

irezumi Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 For some reason I was thinking leaving the airport at 3:45, not plane landing at 3:45. If you left right at this instant these would be several options.

scubaron Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 When I travel, I always have to remind myself, the arrival times the airlines list are when the airplane lands. In NYC airports, it can take an hour or more from landing to getting in a taxi. Then then you have to deal with traffic.

hfs40000 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks for the responses everyone. There is one earlier flight that i didn't wanna take because it's wayyy earlier (like having to take off more work and wake up early (the horror)). But i'm just gonna suck it up and take the earlier flight to be safe. irezumi, suburbanxcore and Bunny Switchblade 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1957-smith-street-tattoo/?page=4#findComment-93841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
irezumi Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 That's an excellent plan. Get to Carroll Gardens early and visit Dan's lady at her place around the corner. Cool little antique boutique/coffee spot right down the street from the tattoo shop. I can't recall the name of her shop, any help here guys & gals?

scubaron Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Get some pizza at Lucali 575 Henry street. It's not too far away from Smith Street. NYC traffic sucks, so coming in early is a good idea.

Which airport you flying into ? I was planning to fly into LaGuardia because I was told JFK was more for international travel, which makes it sound like more of a mess. I haven't bought the tickets yet. My appointments are not for another month. Thanks for the coffee and pizza suggestions! I enjoy both those things quite a bit.

Super cool spot, and pretty much right next to it is a place called Prime Meats that will give you a great hearty pre- or post-tattoo meal. Good coffee there too.

MrsGougeTheEyes Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Definitely fly into LGA, especially if you're on a time crunch. There is always always always so much traffic leaving JFK. LGA is also a lot closer. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/1957-smith-street-tattoo/?page=4#findComment-93863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
