Family or close friend visits NYC. They're not from NYC, but are competent navigators.
Do you meet them at the airport?

I usually meet my visitors at the airport, especially if it's their first time here. But I have a car...

Depends on the Person
I would ask myself, "If I were them, would I appreciate being met, or would I just as soon get there on my own and not have them come all the way out here?"

Barry has a good point. Maybe the best thing to do is just ask them.

Perhaps this sounds like an incredible waste of money, but I always offer to pay for their cab to my place.
Headache avoided.
It's $25 to my place from both airports and since I'm usually super excited to see them, I don't mind paying the fare.
Not usually. JFK is super easy to my place with the Airtram. I love that thing. It's a $7 trip from my place to JFK now. Newark and La Guardia are a bit more tricky. Sometimes I meet people at the bus station if they're coming from those either of those other airports. But most trips to my place are fairly straight forward. Brooklyn might be a bit more tricky depending on where you live.
