New York stop over advice

    Im flying back from Lima to Dublin on the 24th with a stop over in JFK. I arrive at 8:30 in the morning in JFK and fly out at 17:45 giving me 9 hours 15 minutes. Ive never been to New York or the states and would love to get into the city to have a look around. I want to find out if this is possible with that ammount of time. I know I wont be able to see much but would be happy with a walk around Manhattan and maybe lunch.

    Looking for someone in the know to advise me on this and possibly come up with a small itinerary.

    Cheers.

    Just get a cab from JFK and head for Times square, personally I wouldn't even bother messing about with buses or trains as realistically you only have about 5 hours, from Times square you are within reach of Central Park and the Empire State however you won't have time to go up it.

    the cabs outside jkf have a set fair to anywhere in the city, confirm this with the driver before you set off, its written on some of them on the outside.

    dont get burned like i did, the NY cabbies are well able to **** and blind and rip you off if your not on the ball

    id suggest going up the rockerfeller and perhaps have a look on fifth ave, esp the apple store

    theres some nice seats by some water features across the road where you can chill out and people watch, central park is right there aswell
