Great - thanks canadou I've got 6 hours between my LHR-SFO and SFO-JFK flights, so depending on how quickly I get out of the airport I might hotfoot it downtown for dinner as it's only 30mins on the BART.

It can be done but isn't something I'd feel confident about if it was me.
Thanks for the advice Blueboys999, there're lots of flights out to ORD from NYC so I'll stick an extra hour in-between landing at JFK and departing from LGA, hopefully on a Sunday morning that'll give me enough time to transfer.
