We do not provide car service from JFK International Airport. If you want a taxi, you can find them at the airport. Below please find information for taxi and metro/subway.
Via taxi: 2-3 hours - depending on traffic. The cost is approximately $100-200 Take the taxi to Manhattan. Cross Manhattan island to the Holland Tunnel. Take the Holland Tunnel to NJ. When exiting the Holland Tunnel in NJ make a LEFT at the first traffic light onto Marin Blvd. Follow Marin Blvd. approximately 2 miles (7 traffic lights) to Montgomery St. Make a RIGHT onto Montgomery St. Follow approximately 2 miles up the hill to Kennedy Blvd. Make a RIGHT onto Kennedy Blvd. Travel 1 block and make a LEFT onto Glenwood Ave. My home is near the end of the block.

Via metro/subway: 1-2 hours. The Cost: $5 + $2.25 + $2 = $9.25 If you would like to take the metro from JFK, follow these instructions. The metro is ultra safe, fast and inexpensive.
Take the Air-Train from any JFK terminal ($5) to the “Howard Beach” SubwayStation where passengers board the "A" train –The A Train is part of the NYC subway system. ASK THE ATTENDANT FOR A SUBWAY MAP! They are free and very clear. To enter the subway system, you must purchase a ticket from the machine or attendant. The cost is $2.25.
When you board the A-train, be certain it is going towards NYC/Manhattan, NOT away from NYC. The metro goes in both directions of course!
Go approximately 7 stops to Euclid Ave. Station. Get off the subway at Euclid Ave. and transfer to the Manhattan bound C-train. (DO NOT EXIT THE STATION. THE TRANSFER IS INSIDE THE STATION. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY AGAIN.) The C-train is probably just across the train platform. This is an express train and will be much faster.
Or, if you prefer to stay on the A train, they both follow the same route. It is your decision. The A train makes many stops. The C train is very direct with just a few stops.
Take the A or C train to the Chambers St. Station. Exit the subway and walk to the PATH train at the WTC station (World Trade Center). It is close. Ask anyone where the World Trade Center is. New York people are friendly and helpful.
At the WTC, take the PATH train marked "Newark". The cost is $2.00 per person. (You can use the NYC Subway card for the PATH system.) Take this train 3 stops to Journal Square, (JSQ). Get off the train at the Journal Square Station.
Go to the top of the escalators and see on your left a taxi stand. It will cost approximately $5-10 to take everyone to our home. With your luggage we suggest it. The address is 149-A Glenwood Ave. Tell the cab driver the address is near Saint Peter’s College, he will know this area. Or you can walk from JSQ station to the home.
Walking from station: Make a LEFT onto Kennedy Blvd.
walking South to Glenwood Ave. Make a RIGHT onto Glenwood Ave. to
149A.
