Hello,
1- I'm arriving from international flight at Terminal 1, after I'm done with customs and baggage, How do I get to the AirTrain area?

Quickest way to get to Manhattan

What is the best way to get to Manhattan. I'm headed towards the East Village.

Easiest and most direct is

Easiest and most direct is by taxi, cost is $45+tolls+tip. You can also take public transportation; Airtrain from terminal to Howard Beach Station, transfer to the inbound A subway. At Broadway Junction transfer to the inbound L subway to 1st Ave. which will put you at the north end of the East Village. You can also stay on the A to W. 4th St. and walk east crosstown on 4th St. to the EV.
