The Best Way To Get From
JFK Airport To Manhattan (and back again)

Travel By Taxi

This is by far the easiest way to get from JFK to anywhere in Manhattan (anywhere in the entire city really) for up to a party of four, but of course its not the cheapest.

Where do you find a Taxi? There are signs that will direct you to the taxi stands outside ever terminal in the airport. There will be queues/lines of taxis waiting to take you where you want to go. An attendant should be there to answer any questions. Only take official Yellow Cabs! If someone offers to give you a ride. Run. Its probably a scam.

How Long Should it Take? That depends on the traffic. If you fly into JFK at PM (rush hour), you'll be luck if it only takes you two hours to get to your destination. Typically it should take an hour or so.
