If you’ve ever had your flight cancelled the last minute at JFK, you know what it’s like to have to search for a New York airport hotel . At first glance, an unscheduled delay in your travel plans may seem like a bad thing, but what if you could turn the delay around, especially if the delay is for at least twenty-four hours? You now have the opportunity for a quick one day trip through one of the world’s great cities. What can you do in a day? You should have time for a quick orientation of some of the top tourist attractions in the Big Apple.

Get out the most comfortable traveling shoes you own and pick up a 1-Day Fun Pass, allowing you to use any subway or bus for a day. Grab a street map, too, just to make life a bit easier. If you’re up early enough for breakfast, try an authentic New York bagel, especially from H and H Bagels at Broadway and 80th Street. You can easily spend most of the morning taking a walk through Central Park and exploring your choice of museums, either the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the American Museum of Natural History. For lunch, stop in at a pizza at one of the oldest establishments in town, Lombardi’s , and then stroll through the neighborhoods of Greenwich Village. For dinner, try out Chinatown, and then later in the evening, to get a spectacular view of the city, take a trip to the top of the Empire State Building. If you want a drink for the night, then you might step into the oldest bar and restaurant in town, Pete’s Tavern , which has been in business continuously since 1864.

Of course, if you’ve only got half a day, try the morning or afternoon suggestions, and then head back to the airport. With any luck, there won’t be any more delays.
