The best airport for you depends on where you are staying in New York. However, JFK: JFK is in Jamaica, Queens. A taxi from JFK to Manhattan costs a flat fee of $52, but be sure to only take official yellow cabs. An Uber will probably run you $55 or more for this route. Just remember: this flat fee only applies to trips from JFK to Manhattan—not vice-versa! LaGuardia is in northern Queens, relatively close to Manhattan. Many of the options from LGA are the same as JFK: you can take a taxi, Uber, or use public transportation. Newark-Liberty is located in Newark, NJ—about 15 miles from NYC. The EWR AirTrain will take you to NJTransit or Amtrack trains (both of which go straight into Manhattan); you could also Uber or take a taxi.
