The VOR 13L , AKA Carnarsie, is fine so long as the wind isn't a strong southerly (and it usually is). You usually get vectored towards ASALT @3000' and the trick is not to let NY ATC con you into leeping the speed up. Get it all hanging out and slow down early so you can leave CRI pretty well configured. The MAP is DHYML and from there you can see the runway ok(ish).
The lights aren't the best but there are other features...twin stacks, aquaduct etc...
No need for any silly AOB just a gentle turn and caution the descent rate as you will nedd to reduce from DHYML for 13l to approx 400fpm.
It's a fun approach IMHO but onlu if the weather is ok. If you don't want to accept 13L due wind then tell ATC...they will only inform the port authority to change runway if they get 3 requests!!
