Narrative:
While flying level at 13000 ft between somto intersection and ard on the nanci 5 arrival into lga, ATC advised us of VFR traffic. A few seconds later we got a TCASII climb command which I immediately followed to 13600 ft. We advised ATC of our TCASII commanded climb. We were instructed to descend to 11000 ft and to contact approach control.
