JFK Layover

I will have a 7 hour plus layover at JFK enroute to Venice. I would
appreciate some advice -- can I realistically get into the city ( and do
anything) and back in that time ( taking into account the ins and outs of
security et al)? What will it cost -- taxis and what else are available?
Any further advice??

Figure on a good hour to get into the city from and back to JFK. If
you're traveling during rush hour, allow even more time. Let's assume
for argument that it take you 90 minutes each way. That would leave you
about three hours to be in Manhattan and about one hour for security
(again, it depends on the day and time your flight leaves).

Taxis cost an arm and a leg, so forget anout them. But there are buses
that are far cheaper, as well as other options. Look he

If it were me, I'd head straight to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Awesome place if you've never been. And they have a quite decent-enough
restaurant to get a quick bite; or you can explore the surrounding
blocks (go to Madison Ave. one block east for a good choice). Also,
Central Park is right behind the museum.

And what does Europe mean? And it is a trip to Europe with a layover.

The new monorail is running from Jamaica, New York City to the airport.
If it looks like traffic is an issue (and it probably is) this may
help. Check out http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/mta/airtrain.htm (sorry, too
new to know how to put in a link). You take the monorail from your
terminal to the Jamaica train station; go downstairs and grab a subway
into Manhattan. Both the monorail and the subway run every few
minutes.

I believe Bob actually resides in Venice, and his question did have a
European component, i.e., Venice...
