"I've been doorstep to doorstep from Charleston to my friend's apartment in Brooklyn Heights in under 3 hours"

How? Flight is 1 hour 50 minutes (according to Google), and a cab from JFK to BK heights is still 30 minutes if you hit zero traffic. Plus there is a security line to get through at the Charleston end of things.

Even if the universe aligns in your favor I'd be surprised if you hit under 3 hours door to door.
