Eat here

A dollar slice of New York pizza at Di Fara in Midwood, Brooklyn — the legendary $5 slice from Dom DeMarco. Worth the queue.

Local tip

JFK to Manhattan takes 60–90 minutes depending on traffic. The AirTrain + A-train combo is reliable but slow. LIRR from Jamaica is faster to Penn Station.

Getting to your hotel from JFK

Pre-book a fixed-price arrival transfer if you're landing late or with kids — saves the arrivals queue and locks price before you fly.

Getting out of New York (JFK)

Skip the taxi rank and lock in your fare before you land.
