I would choose LGA… the amount of transfers are less, if you can put up with traveling in a bus, which I do not mind at all. The M60 takes you directly into 125th street, from where you have many combination available to go downtown or uptown.

Always go with JFK whenever possible The air train is right there and there are buses and taxis as well

I never understood why NY does not have Subways going right to the airports like they do in both of the Chicago Airports

John F. Kennedy International Airport. You can take the JFK Airtrain from the terminals to either Howard Beach or Jamaica Station for connection to the subway.
Good luck

Newark. The train station is at the airport and it’s an easy 15 minute ride into Midtown.

I agree about JFK. You’ve got the Airtran right there, which takes you to Jamaica station. From there, you can either take the Long Island Railroad or a subway into Manhattan.

Either or are easy, depending on traffic. Try the shuttles or buses

Go from ERW in Jersey. Takes you right into downtown Manhatten!
JFK, without a doubt. From JFK you can just take the AitTrain (monorail) to Jamaica Station and then either take the subway or the LIRR (commuter train) into Manhattan.
From LGA you’d need to take a bus (which isn’t all that convenient to get to). I hate taking the bus.
