Being on the road in NYC on a Summer Fri afternoon should be avoided at all costs. Really. You will be stuck in complete gridlock for much of your trip.

Take the trains through Penn Station. The trip will be quicker this way.

If you do decide to get in a car svc/cab, try taking the Verazzano ($8) through Staten Island over to NJ. Might be out of the way and you will still crowded, but trying to traverse Manhattan should simply not be considered unless you really enjoy sitting in traffic.

Verazzano goes to brooklyn the outbridge crossing or the gothals bridge would be the way to get from SI to NJ. From jfk you take the airtrain to jamaica then the LIRR to NYP. From there you take the New jersey transit either (northeast corridor or north jersey coast line train) to newark penn and there you switch to the rarritan valley line.
cheers!
