On Saturday I am flying to Costa Rica for 2 weeks, which is going to be pretty damn awesome to say the least.
I'm flying out with frinds, but when I fly home I will have approximately 7.5 hours to kill on my own at Newark Airport so I am thinking about leaving the airport and going into New York for a few hours to do a little shopping/sightseeing. However I have never been to New York before and am wondering if anyone has done anything similar, how long (and how much it cost) to get into New York by cab and what you did to pass the time.
Any comments/suggestions gratefully received!
