I’ve come back from two weeks in the United States - one week in Cleveland with the divine shove_this_job, and one week with (almost) my entire family exploring New York.

Whilst in New York, I had to pay for wireless Internet access. I ended up paying about $30 for Internet access on three of the five days I was in one of the world’s most amazing cities - although one time was so I could try to check-in for flights online, and another time was for a (failed) job application.

But really, I didn’t HAVE to have Internet access. I just wanted it. and there’s only so much walking around you can do before your legs fall off…

I'm basically flying through JFK airport on my merry way to see shove_this_job  in April. And I'm stuck for a good five hours in JFK en route (so I can see a ye olde friend of mine on the way back!)

Does anyone know the practicalities of getting out of JFK, heading into New York City, doing something quintiessentially New York-ian (or just grabbing a bagel in Manhattan) and then getting back through JFK to catch the flight out? Is it do-able in five hours or so? Or shall I just give up and try to make a nap-time bed on an airport seat somewhere?
