9-hour "layover" in NYC, what to do?

Okay I put NYC in the subject but it turns out JFK is in Queens. Oh well.

Keep a charger for your phone, obviously. USB battery pack if you can get one.

Magazines, study something, chat up other folks who are laid over; just don't be a retard and think the surrounding money traps are like Disneyland.

Layovers wouldn't even exist if they weren't a source of revenue in and of themselves.

Subway to Penn downtown is like ~20-30 min. Go down there and walk around Chinatown and Central for a few hours .

You can check luggage well ahead of time, leaving only your carryon. That can be stowed in a locker.

A bus ride from JFK to Manhattan is $17. Remember that you will need to check in through security by at least 10 pm.

If you get the timing right, you could do a comedy club in Manhattan, take in a meal, or shop at Soho. Watch your time.

When I had a layover at NYC, I brought a bag of trail mix for dinner, and read a good book. I never left the airport.

I've you've never been to a real China Town I'd highly recommend it.

JFK is fucked and some of the terminals don't have Wifi.
