[Click here] ---> Official Newark Liberty International Airport Home Page - Port Authority of NY & NJ - AVIATION to see the link of kEWR (newark airport) -- one of the NYC area's 4 airports: JFK, LGA, Islip, & newark. Maybe you could count Westchester as an NYC airport, but of all the times I've flown in and out of NYC, Westchester's never come up as a match. Few sources cite Westchester linking to the MTA, as EWR (Newark) does indirectly from the real Penn Station (at 34th btwn 7th & 8th, not the wannabe one in hoboken) via jersey transit connected to the air train; as JFK does by way of the new train linking it to Jamaica; as LGA does via a catamaran; and as Islip does via the Long Island Railroad.
Islip is the newest of these 4 airports. Islip’s Mac Arthur Airport is closer to nyc than newark is, and Islip is more accessible than airports serving populations under 300k. One nice aspect of landing on Long Island (ISP, JFK, or LGA) is that you're in New York. Two of nyc's biggest, most populous boroughs (Brooklyn then Queens [where JFK & LGA are]) are on Long Island. If you rent a car, you won't have to pay tolls to drive between Long Island and Manhattan if you use any of the four completely free bridges: the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge, and the Qunsborough ["59th Street"] Bridge. You cannot drive from the garbage state to Manhattan without paying. Jersey Jackasses will tell you that their one bridge (the George Washington Bridge) and 2 tunnels (the Holland & Lincoln) to Manhattan are toll-free. However, they're only free for leaving Manhattan; you have to pay to drive into NYC from anywhere in nj. So, of course it's free to drive into nj. If it weren't, nobody would go. Never let jersey jackasses tell you they're from New York, as they always will. There are 5 boroughs of NYC. Do you know how many of them are in nj? Answer: none. New Yorkers don't brag about how close they are to the garbage state. JJs even name their towns after their aspiration: west new york, nj; hoboken deludes itself that it's the 6th borough.
"Notwithstanding" is a horribly counter-intuitive word that means "allowing" and "despite." If someone writes, "notwithstanding failing to study, the student passed the test," the author means that despite no preparation, the student passed. Logically, you could say that the student's success does, in fact, WITHSTAND negligent preparation. If the student's performance does not withstand lethargy, then the student won't pass. "Notwithstanding" is a terrible word that confuses the audience. The purpose of communication should be to convey the presented idea, not to confuse audiences in the hopes that they'll mistake ineffective communication for erudition. The word "notwithstanding" should never be used, notwithstanding its common use in scholaly and judcial texts. Even tenured law professors stop to confirm its meaning. Legislatures seem to love it.
Islip's size makes it a poor comparison to the other 3 airports: JFK, LGA, and ewr. EWR is the newest of these 3 and has the best layout, except for its road system. Despite Ewr's status as a Port Authority facility, ewr could not escape the endemic road design failures that the garbage state incorporates into every paved surface its authorty affects. Contless jersey-bound passengers owe their survival to Founding Father prescience, without whose Supremecy and Commerce clauses the FAA and DOT could not preempt garbage state runway design: "[Ground]: progressive taxi: proceed to Jug Hadle Foxtrot One for left turn onto taxiway Uniform Two." Jersey jackass public officials do not understand that de facto freeway speeds of roughly 70 MPH necessitate notice to drivers that’s appropriate for freeway distance and speed. Garbage state civil engineers seem convinced that everyone driving in their state drives 12MPH and will always be in the lane next to the sign. Whereas the rest of the world will make a freeway sign visible at distances and sizes sufficient for a driver to see in time to move across all lanes safely (eg ½ a mile to a mile), the garbage state will place signs with faded paint, small lettering that requires distances within 10 feet to read, and serendipitous luck to be in the correct lane to read the sign. Not that NY’s completely better. NY has a habit of marking off ramps as forbidden to commercial traffic (semi-tucks) at places impossible to see unless you’re passed the the off ramp’s point-of-no-return.
