Transiting from Ghana to Trinidad via U.S.A

As detailed on the Do I need a US visa to change planes in an American airport? question, you're going to need either a Visa or an ESTA to change planes in New York. (The USA does not offer direct airside transit)

Once you're through immigration, have collected your checked luggage, then cleared customs, you'll exit basically out of the terminal. At that point, you re-check your luggage, and either head up to departures (same terminal) or take the AirTrain to change terminals.

If you want, and if you have time, there's then nothing stopping you taking the AirTrain to the metro or LIRR to ride into downtown Manhattan, or taking a bus or taxi.
