Getting to JFK at Thanksgiving
I'm a newbie to New York having just moved here a couple of months ago. I'm heading over to Europe over Thanksgiving and was looking for some advice with planning. I'll be leaving from JFK on the Wednesday evening before the holiday. Work should be done around 6:00 and I'll be coming from the NYU medical campus--will it be possible to make a 9:30 PM flight? I also live close to Grand Central, so I could walk from work back to my place and hop on the train if that makes more sense. I've heard traffic can get bad out that way, so any advice is appreciated, thanks!
