Any recommendations on places to go to kill some time? I am flying into JFK Saturday morning at 6 AM and need to hang around the city until Noon. I’ll have a carry on-luggage so looking for somewhere I can rest/sit. I was considering either a co-working space or a cafe.

If you’re just going to be around for 6 hours on a layover, I’m not sure I’d leave JFK. Depending on airline, you could hit a lounge or go to the TWA hotel in the old Saarinen terminal.
