I want to thank everyone for the suggestions so far. From what I hear, it's take a cab to Manhattan--forget about anything local to the airport. Times Square and Broadway, possibly Empire State Building. (given my flight arrives at 7:00 could I even take in a show by the time I clear immigration and get a cab downtown?)
Thanks to Michael Moore, I know that an ex-con whitey has a better chance of getting a cab in NYC than a squeaky clean black guy so I should have no problem getting a cab back to the airport in the morning (unlike Doha).
Anyone else? With direct flights to NY, I don't think this will be my only time going through Newark. QA certainly beats Air Canada hands down for service and comfort even in economy. I'd like to avoid AC for the trans-atlantic crossing in the future.
