If you have to go by car in NYC there
is no place you can get to in 15 minutes.

I live in Queens, in Kew Gardens. The Whitestone is about 7 minutes away, and
city isle about another 7 depending on how I catch the lights. Bad traffic on
the whitestone can be a factor, but we rarely cross at rush hour.
Sorry, Thom, you lost again!
