As your resident New Yorker (born and still  here):
 
* New Yorkers ride subways. They are faster, cheaper, and  safer.
* New Yorkers who use surface transportation take cabs. You  just step off 
the curb and raise your hand.
* Airport to town is either a) a cab (real one . . . yellow  with Russian or 
Asian driver) or the shuttle bus from LGA; cab or the train  from JFK: the 
train from EWR.

(Bill:)
Be sure to use only the legitimate Yellow  (actually orange) with medallion 
numbers. Others may be unlicensed "gypsy"  cabs in questionable condition with 
even more questionable  drivers.
 
Thanks for the advise Bill.  Next time for  sure.  One takes their life in 
their hands just riding in a cab,  registered or not.  My sister has not lived 
in NYC all that long, but  now thinks of herself as a native New Yorker.  
Hardly!!!   

Limos can be good deals for groups  but watch out for the unmarked vans 
because I've had a couple of unpleasant  experiences with them despite catching 
them at the LGA airport and the  Sheraton Towers.
 
Fool that I am, I said I'd pay for our next "cab"  ride.  My brother in law 
called down for a cab and the Limo showed  up.  I silently growled when I saw 
that.   Ahhhhhhhhh, live  and learn.  Next visit we stick to the subways.  
Another adventure  to look forward to.  :)
