LaGuardia is much closer as the crow flies, so it's more convenient (and much cheaper) by cab, but JFK is connected via AirTrain to the subway and to the Long Island Railroad, so it might be a better option for using public transportation (although there are buses that go from Laguardia to the subways in Harlem and Jackson Heights). For example, taking the airtrain to the Long Island Railroad and then taking that to Penn Station is a fast way to get to Midtown (probably about 30 minutes), and is also much cheaper than a cab.

JFK is closer.
Which is closer to downtown Manhattan John F. Kennedy airport or LaGuardia?
This is a bit of a tricky question. JFK is much further south than LaGuardia, making it much closer to downtown Manhattan, north/south-wise. But JFK is also much further east than LaGuardia, making LaGuardia technically closer as the crow flies (meaning, if you were to draw an imaginary, direct line between the two). Basically, if you were to draw a straight line west (northwest, actually) from LaGuardia to Manhattan, the line would hit upper Manhattan (at around 116th Street or so). If you were to draw a straight line (north)west from JFK to Manhattan, the line would hit lower (downtown) Manhattan, a little bit south of 14th Street. But since JFK is much further east, the drive in miles from LaGuardia to downtown Manhattan is still a bit shorter than the drive in miles from JFK to downtown Manhattan.
