I'm arriving at JFK Airport
I'm arriving at JFK Airport thursday, at 16.05 pm . How can I get to the 141 Wilson Ave. # 3 R, Brooklyn NY 11237? What is better and easier for a foreingner among LIRR or subway?

Taxi will take you direct,
Taxi will take you direct, fare is about $35-40. Airtrain/Subway is the cheapest ($7.25) but requires a a transfer to get to the closest stop to your location. Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take the Manhattan-bound J subway to Myrtle Ave., transfer to the Middle Village-bound (not towards Manhattan) M subway one stop to Central Ave. Walk towards Central Ave. and then another block west on either Hart St. or Suydam St. to Wilson Ave. and turn left.
T-1 to T-4
