EWR is actually closer to mid-town Manhattan than even LGA, although taxis can be problematic since it is in a different state. JFK is much more inconvenient to get to from Manhattan than either LGA or EWR and once there it is a nightmare to navigate. Rental cars, for example, require leaving the airline terminal area to go to one central location that often has long rental counter lines.
