I have questions too, I'm going to NYC for easter holiday. I arrive at JFK and stay at a hotel in Times Square. Not sure to take the subway, or a shuttle. What do you recommend? I'll be with a medium baggage, not so heavy but not sure if it' would be easy walking with it through the subways. Besides, how long takes to Times Sq. from JFK by subway?? (I arrive at 7am aprox). And.. is it safe? Or do you recoomend a shuttle?

The subway is really pretty safe these days, especially if you take it during regular hours. It's certainly no longer like you may have seen it portrayed in movies made during the 1970s. Essentially (in general) you'll only encounter regular people minding their own business and just trying to get from home to work and back.
Not to say that no one ever gets robbed in the city any more, but the crime rate there has dropped a great deal since the 1960s and 1970s. It's a lot "nicer" there now than it used to be, i.m.o.
