Would anyone be able to advise:
1) How much a tax would cost?
2) What other means of trasnport would get me there, and how much it may cost?
Thanks!

ShiogO is right. Taxi JFK to Manhattan is $45 flat fee plus tip and tolls. However, it's the best bet at that time of night.
If you insist, you can take the AirTrain to the Subway, then find your stop. Not recommended.

KENNEDY AIRPORT
Via the Subway and AirTrain JFK
Howard Beach AirTrain station
The stops at Howard Beach every 5 to 10 minutes during rush hours and every 15 to 20 minutes evenings and weekends. AirTrain stops at Howard Beach every 4 to10 minutes.
Most subway lines connect to the . Just be sure you take the marked "Far Rockaway" or "Rockaway Park", NOT " Lefferts Boulevard". Its about a 12-minute ride from Howard Beach station to the airport. The AirTrain fare is $5 and is in addition to the subway fare. You can pay the AirTrain fare with a Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard.

the easiest and safest way if you do not know your way around New York is to take a cab from they airport, they are on a fixed fee, think about $45 plus tolls the guy in charge will give the cab driver you address and make sure he knows where it is he is taking you. there are other methods, bus and train but if you are arriving with luggage and have never been before would suggest you tak the taxi

Taxi for $45 would be your best bet
Airtrain to the subway would be cheaper ($7/person) but if you're not from the area, it may be a little complicated, and could also be dangerous because the subway goes through some spotty areas.

taxi will cost $45 - flat fee from JFK or you can take the J train (I don't recall where it stops around 60th - plus you need to know the cross street)
If you have the cash, take the taxi, much more fun coming into Manhattan.

At this late hour, a taxi will be the safest and best mode of transportation. The fare might range between $40-45.

Take a taxi - you'll be safe and you'll have the thrill of seeing the NY skyline lit up in front of you as you approach the Mid-Town Tunnel. When it's your first time, it'll blow you away.
Better still, ask the driver to take the 59th Street bridge instead - even better!

there are ground transportation real easy these buses cost about 12$ if that and they will take you almost exactly where you need to be dropped off. forget about a cab. you can even take a car service at the airport. if you're brave enough you can travel the subway into the city but you really need to know where youre going
