Take-off to touchdown is about that time. Looking on FlightAware, t/o to t/d times on the DCA-LGA route have varied from as short as 27 minutes to around 45 minutes over the past couple of days. The taxi time, as well as how congested the patterns into LGA/DCA are, can add a substantial amount of time, but if the winds are blowing right and the airspace isn't crowded, a sub-30 minute Shuttle flight in-air is achievable.
