Airtrain to JamaicaE Train to Times Square, A train up to 125th street. Or the #1 Train, try to find out which one will be closer to your final destination.Total time, maybe an hour and a quarter or so. Total cost, $5 for the Airtrain and $2.25 for the subway, free connections within.
The subways will be a sure thing. I dont know about traffic on the roads, but if you hop on the subway, like getting the E train from JFK (www.lirr.org), you can get into the city in 30min. About 45min to Port Authority. And from there you can catch a train up to the 120s. A little over an hour maybe?
Best way to get from JFK to the West 120s, which is in Harlem, is by public transit. However, if you need proper travel direction, you need to make your question more specific.Drop me a line by clicking on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile. I ll be glad to help with travel directions from JFK to Harlem.Good luck
take a yellow cab. About $45 flat rate. don t go with anyone that solicits you. Likely an illegal cabby.
