You can get a yellow cab at the taxi stand. If time is a factor and you land during high-peak, just call a car service. It will cost about the same, maybe a little more (+$10). Call before you take off from your departure city: Carmel (212-666-6666) and Dial 7 Car & Limo (212-777-7777) are the biggest car service companies in the city.
You can also take Super Shuttle (1-800-BLUE-VAN, or see the first Related Link below). This is your somewhat less simple but more moderately priced option.
Your cheapest (and most complicated) option is public transportation. Unlike JFK, LaGuardia is not accessible by subway, but the MTA-NYCTA operates a bus that runs between LaGuardia and Manhattan (the NYCTA is the city's transit authority, and they are part of the MTA, which is the New York State transit authority).
The M60 bus only makes five stops in Manhattan, and they're all in Upper Manhattan: West 106th Street and Broadway (in the Morningside Heights neighborhood), West 116th Street and Broadway (also in Morningside Heights), West 125th Street and Amsterdam Avenue (in Harlem), West 125th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard (Harlem), East 125th Street and Lexington (East Harlem).
See the second Related Link below for information about the M60 bus, and see the third Related Link for an M60bus schedule.

What is the distance from LaGuardia Airport to Manhattan?
It is little more than 5 miles between LaGuardia Airport and Harlem as a straight shot (in Manhattan). If you are specifically asking for Midtown, it's between 6 and 6.5 miles (9.7 to 10.5 kilometers) from LaGuardia Airport to East 59th Street, driving west on the Triboro Plaza, over the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, and then down the East Side of Manhattan.
Which is closer to downtown Manhattan John F. Kennedy airport or LaGuardia?
This is a bit of a tricky question. JFK is much further south than LaGuardia, making it much closer to downtown Manhattan, north/south-wise. But JFK is also much further east than LaGuardia, making LaGuardia technically closer as the crow flies (meaning, if you were to draw an imaginary, direct line between the two). Basically, if you were to draw a straight line west (northwest, actually) from LaGuardia to Manhattan, the line would hit upper Manhattan (at around 116th Street or so). If you were to draw a straight line (north)west from JFK to Manhattan, the line would hit lower (downtown) Manhattan, a little bit south of 14th Street. But since JFK is much further east, the drive in miles from LaGuardia to downtown Manhattan is still a bit shorter than the drive in miles from JFK to downtown Manhattan.

Why is there no subway line between Manhattan and LaGuardia Airport?
Probably because the mob boss of the Transit Union and the mob boss of the Taxi union worked out a little "wink wink" deal so that there would be no trains from LaGuardia to Manhattan. It's the only reasonable explanation. As a result, everybody flying in and out of LaGuardia gets the "privilege" of paying $40 for a cab ride and sit in long traffic jams.
