The NY controllers are one of the most reasonable "B" controllers around
in almost every case I can remember. BOS is the biggest annoyance, at least
to VFR folks. I've flown my Cherokee right over the JFK VOR many times,
both ways, IFR and VFR, with never a problem.

Perhaps at 4AM. I'd plan at least 1 hour. I'd try to get a "car" service.
The taxi drivers absolutely hate going to the airports because of the taxi
pool. Getting a taxi from one airport to the other is likely to get you
a crash course in Russian swear words.

Not at JFK. I have always stayed at the La Guardia Airport Marriott with
good results. They have a shuttle from the airport to the hotel.
