Had a great LGA approach last week. Sitting in 1A on the US BOS-LGA shuttle, came down the west side and literally circled around the Empire State Building as if it were a pivot point (and flew directly overhead of my apartment in Chelsea), before continuing back up over Brooklyn and Queens for the typical Tennis Center/Shea Stadium approach. As many know, this is a very common approach from the north, but it seemed to me that we were in tighter over Manhattan than I'm used to, making this scenic approach even more spectacular.
