My family is going to Italy for a conference and some sight-seeing. We got an incredible deal on the tickets, but the catch was a super-long layover in NYC. We're treating it as a part of the vacation/adventure and would like to spend a few fun hrs in NYC. What would you guys do with 6-7 hrs in the Big Apple?
We're happy taking the subways. We wouldn't mind catching a glimpse of lady liberty, but don't need to go to it (last time we were there we took the Staten Island ferry from Battery Park to see it). We want to eat some good food - anything really. My wife and I both love authentic Chinese. Dim sum or a good noodle place would be groovy. Japanese ramen would be welcomed. Honestly any cuisine as long as it's good.
We have two little girls so something interesting for them would be nice. Is Central Park Zoo worth it? We've never been to Central Park so that's an option.
Since JFK is near Brooklyn, should we just stay in the borough? We've never really seen it.
Thanks!
