Safe traveling AirTrain/LIRR/subway from JFK to Harlem @1am?
Hi there,
is it safe traveling from the JFK Intl. Airport to Manhattan/Harlem at night? I booked a flight that arrives at JFK at 22:10, so I suppose that I should be in Manhattan by 00:30 or 01:00 respectively.
Is it safe to walk a couple of blocks with a large backpack on my back in Harlem area?
What's the alternative? Take a taxi from the subway station? Or not use AirTrain/subway at all and take a taxi? I could also use the bus transfer, but there would still be the problem (?) of reaching my hostel safely when walking from the bus stop in Manhattan to my hostel.
Thanks in advance for your help, I appreciate it.

I'm immigrating to USA. please i need to know the steps to follow once i arrive from terminal 1 and leave JFK from terminal 3.

After you get off the plane,
After you get off the plane, you will go to immigration control. This happens before you get your bags. They will look at your paperwork and then take you to get your fingerprints taken. They stamp your visa and then that's it. Go and collect your bags. Your green card will come in the mail.
Once you arrive, you will
Once you arrive, you will have to stand in a line up for immigration control. You have to pass through this line before you get to your bags. You will show the immigration officer all your paperwork and s/he will take you to an office where you will have your fingerprints taken. I think they stamp your visa and then you can go and get your bags and that's it. Then you get your green card in the mail.
From JFK to Grand Street Station
Halo...This is my first time in USA...I need to get to Connecticut from JFK..Can anyone tell me how can i get to Grand Street Station to catch a bus to Connecticut?
It would be faster to take
It would be faster to take Connecticut Limo (it is a bus) from JFK to Connecticut. It avoids the trip into Manhattan. Connecticut Limo goes to New Haven and makes other stops along the way. http://www.ctlimo.com/
Shuttles
There are shuttle buses from each terminal to Grand Central or Port Authority. There is also a subway to Post Authority and then you can taxi or bus across to Grand Cental

oh i did not answer how long
oh i did not answer how long it takes. with LIRR train it should not take more than 20 minutes. if you catch a nonstop, it probably takes 15 min. with subway, depending on where you go, it would take at least 30 minutes. but probably longer if you are going to uptown in manhattan
you can take the airtrain to
you can take the airtrain to jamaica station.from there you can either walk to LIRR and take the train straight into Penn station in NYC (i think it costs about 4 dollars, but it is fast) OR you can go to Sutphin Blvd/Archer Ave and take the subway into the city. The subway would take longer, but it is only 2 dollars per ride. Overall, it is very easy to get to the city if you have time.
Where can I buy Pay-per-ride
Where can I buy Pay-per-ride and weekly unlimited ride metrocards at JFK? Thanks
