I'd take a cab any day. You can't beat the fixed $30 fare + toll to get you to Manhattan. The bus/LIRR/subway won't get you to your hotel front door and unload your bags. The fixed fare is a steal.

You can take the shuttle bus (called New York Airport Service). It takes you from JFK to Manhattan (Grand Central, Port Authority, Penn Station, etc.). They run quite frequently. It costs $13 for one way ticket. Their phone number is 212-875-8200.
