Coming into LGA, you might want to check out the Sheraton LaGuardia East in downtown Flushing, about 3 miles away with free hotel shuttle - right in the middle of NYC's 2nd. largest Chinatown, where many restaurants are open very late - 1 a.m. or 2 a.m. even on weekdays - all within a 5 minute walking distance from the hotel's doorsteps. Depending on your travel date, you might be able to book AAA/AARP or other discounted rate plan for as low as $169 per night (under $200 with taxes & surcharges)
DELUGE, in the lower level is open for breakfast at 6 am and part of the Sheraton but dinner up to 10 pm only. Car service from the hotel to JFK - 8 miles - will run between $30 to $45 (no tolls) depending on which company is chosen. Taxi fare metered will run about $35 depending on traffic & rush hour conditions, a yellow taxi stand around the corner for folks using the #7 subway train.

Other decent hotels closer to JFK itself are basically in the middle of nowhere so might as well forget about dining - late night or not.
Also, avoid the lower tier/priced Best Western, Comfort/Quality Inn, etc. in the downtown Flushing area - many horror stories about cleanliness & poor housekeeping, etc.
