Where in PA do you want to go? If it's on the eastern side, consider Trenton, Atlantic City, or Newark airports. If you're considering the western side of PA, like Harrisburg, NJ would be WAY Far to drive. If you want to go to like Milford, PA - consider flying into White Plains or Newburgh, NY. Those are both within a two hour drive from there.

Newark is next to New York, not close to Philadelphia. You will lose any financial benefit getting the train or bus from Newark to Philly, and a lot of time besides. Even if you rent a car from that airport into Center City Philadelphia, you're adding two hours each way to your travel time--ughh.
Just take the flight into PHL and get to your destination in a straight line. Cars are much cheaper to rent farther from NYC anyway.

Unless your planning to visit Pittsburgh go to the airport in Phillie. The local train runs "through" the airport stopping at all terminals.
I have consistently rented cars from Phillie Airport (usually at Alamo) at rates so low it was cheaper for me to take the train from NJ to Phillie (Over an Hour away) to pick up a car than it was to get one at Newark International (about 20 minutes) .
If you land in Newark there is a shuttle that can take you from the airport to Newark Penn Station where you can either take Amtrak (expensive but fast) or NJ transit to Trenton and SEPTA into Phillie (Cheaper but slower).
Have you looked into flying into Atlantic City? There are a limited number of airlines that do fly there but I've heard of people getting good deals.

Which Philly airport are you flying into? The regional or the international. I've always flown into PHL and have never had any problems when I visit my dad. I catch a cab from the PHL to wherever in the city and its a flat $25 fare to and from the airport. Driving around Philly isn't so bad. You just have to know the what major streets go in what direction. So if you want to rent a car go ahead. But parking is a pain.

Well, as a native Philadelphia girl, I can tell you that it depends where you want to go. Overall, I think the Philadelphia airport is better. Newark is very unpredictable, and whatnot. The Philly airport really isn't that much more expensive than any other airport, actually. And how does this relate to NYC at ALL? This is posted under NYC, not Philly! Geez.

I stay in philadelphia and that i'm black yet my community my common college and extreme college have been continually hispanic so in case you decide directly to be around those with an identical subculture perhaps Philly would be maximum suitable. finding on the area of Jersey that would desire to be an more advantageous option as long as its no longer camden. I even have continually enjoyed living in Philly however I even have lived in different states. There are additionally a lot of Spanish eating places right here, spanish colleges, and we continually have this great puerto rican day parade each and every twelve months that i pass to considering my step dad is hispanic and he makes me lol
