Matt:
I would suggest you land at Linden Airport (LDJ) and rent a
car from Enterprise (1800rentacar). There you can drive to the city through
the Holland Tunnel and be right downtown in a matter of minutes. You can
also take a taxi to Newark Airport. Both Linden and Teterboro are not
close enough to public transportation to get you to the city. Newark has
an expensive landing and overnight fee but has a bus to a PATH train
which goes directly into the midtown area.
For me it depends on where you are going in the city.
Teterboro is closer to the George Washington Bridge and Linden is closer to
Staten Island and Lower Manhattan. If you are looking for a place to stay,
and I guess this goes for anyone on this list, since you are all trustworthy, my
mother runs a great informal B&B on Staten Island just 5 minutes from
the best ride in town, the free ferry to downtown Manhattan (20 minutes).
It is a beautiful and huge 100 year-old house which has been restored on
Sailor's Snug Harbor, a thriving cultural center and botanical
gardens. E-mail me if you need any more
info.
