I'm JFK-based and have been for the past three years, and I can tell you I've never had that approach assigned under any conditions other than severe clear. Really not a hard approach at all, other than the lights can be somewhat hard to spot on a sunny day and some guys have a little difficulty with altitude management, I see a lot of people stay too high for too long only to have to dive at the runway at some point, usually while passing the employee parking lot. My technique after DMYHL is a gentle 300fpm or so down which puts you right on the PAPIs while lining up with the hotel lead-ins. I would also add that very rarely would they let you land on 13R on this approach (happened only once for me). Here's the plate:
