Narrative:
On flight from rsw to jfk. Upon radio check-in with new york approach control, they assigned runway 4R at jfk. Runway had just opened, we were first aircraft arriving on runway 4R. Cleared for an ILS runway 4R approach. Landed on runway 4R. Aircraft was slowed and began exit at taxiway fb. Kennedy tower issued taxi instructions to join taxiway flight attendant, right on taxiway F and hold short of runway 4L. Aircraft was turned on to taxiway flight attendant and began to taxi towards taxiway F. As we approached intersection of taxiway F and taxiway Y, with taxiway flight attendant, I noticed something along taxiway flight attendant in front of me. Taxi light illuminated safety cones lying across taxiway flight attendant. These cones were not marked or illuminated. Aircraft brought to a stop prior to making any contact, with cones directly in front of aircraft. We immediately inquired with kennedy tower about the cones. The tower stated they had no record or NOTAMS of any cones blocking the txwys. Port authority/authorized vehicle was dispatched to retrieve cones. Vehicle came out and safely removed cones from taxiway. Our flight was then cleared to continue taxi.
