You don't ''have'' to take the 5 US$ Airtrain to get there or to get from JFK to the city. Take a [http://www.jfk-airport.net/bus.html local bus] from terminal 45 (probably the Q10 to Lefferts Blvd, where you can transfer to the A subway train), you can pay $2,25 US$ .50 for the ride or if you get an unlimited card (7 days are worth it if you're staying 4 or more days) you can use that.
