Newark is best, but don’t completely dismiss JFK, especially if you are traveling light and JFK would get you either a much cheaper flight and/or more convenient arrival time from wherever you are coming. From JFK you can take the Airtrain to Jamaica Station, then the Long Island Railroad to Penn. Station and then you catch the same train that you would from Newark. It will add about an hour or a an hour and half and about $20 on to your trip. But if you are flying from someplace that has cheaper and more frequent flights into JFK than Newark and you don’t have a ton of luggage, it might be worth considering.
