first, you read the subway map to find out where you're at and where you're going. Then you go to the Metrocard machine and pay $2 per ride. Swipe your Metrocard through the turnstile. Proceed to the side in which your going. For example: If you're heading to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and you're at The Bronx Zoo, you'd head to the Downtown side of the train station. take the number 2 or 5 train to 149th St & Grand Concourse. Go upstairs and transfer to the number 4 train heading to Woodlawn. Take the train to 161 Street/River Avenue/Yankee Staduim. Get off the train and walk outside.
Take the shuttle (the AirTrain) from inside the JFK terminals to the Howard Beach Station on the A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line). Take the A to 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal, at 8th Avenue (one block west of Times Square).
You mean, how do you pay for your ride? There are still some stations that are manned by transit workers, and you can buy your Metrocard from them. But most often, you have to buy it from one of the electronic kiosks. Half the time those machines won't take bills. Or, sometimes you get the reverse problem: they will ONLY take bills, and not credit or debit cards. So the best thing to do is have both cash and a credit or debit card with you, so you will be prepared for either situation.
There are several different types of Metrocards you can buy. The most common are the Single-Ride Tickets, the Unlimited cards, and the pay-per-ride cards.
The Single Ride card is a paper card that's good for one ride only. The 30-day and 7-day Unlimited cards give you unlimited rides for a month or a week. With the pay-per-ride cards, you pay $10, $20, or $50 (or any amount you want over $4.50), and the amount of money will be loaded onto a brand-new plastic Metrocard, which will pop out of the slot. You can use it immediately.
Each ride currently costs $2.25 (as of 2011) with a pay-per-ride card. Single Ride Tickets cost $2.50. 30-day Unlimited cards are $104, and 7-day Unlimited cards are $29. But keep in mind that Unlimited cards do not work after midnight.
These same cards also work for the city buses. The pay-per-ride cards give you a free transfer (within 2 hours) between the bus and subway, or between buses, as long as you're not going in opposite directions. The MTA will not pay for your return trip. Meaning, if you take the 86th Street crosstown bus from the West Side to the East Side, and you head back home less than 2 hours later, you cannot get a free trip back to the West Side. It will only give you a free transfer if you're continuing your trip, for example, if you transfer from the 86th Street crosstown bus to an Uptown or Downtown subway line, or from the 86th Street crosstown bus to an Uptown or Downtown bus.
You walk over to the turnstiles with your new Metrocard, and you slide it through the slot. The turnstile will unlock and allow you to pass through.
Then you walk to the platform of the train you need to take, and you wait. When the train comes, you get on. When it gets to your stop, you get off.
The simplest way would be to take the Downtown 2 or 3 (of the 1-2-3, the red line) from 34th Street-Penn Station to Wall Street-William Street. William Street runs parallel to Broad Street. It's the next block east after Broad Street.
You will exit the subway on William Street, between Wall and Pine Streets. Broad Street becomes Nassau Street at Wall Street.
So, walk half a block downtown to Wall Street, and turn right onto Wall Street. Walk one block west to the corner of Wall Street and Broad/Nassau Street.
It's impossible to give detailed directions without knowing where in Manhattan you're coming from. The best I can do is tell you which trains stop at Coney Island: the D and F(of the B-D-F-M, the orange line), and the N and Q (of the N-R-Q, the yellow line) to the end of the line, Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue.
