The $100 you spent on cab fare will be nothing compared to what it will cost you to go to Coney Island for the day. Are you in Newark or Queens? If you are at JFK (Queens) you can rent a car for the day and go into the city or you can take the jitney over to the ballpark and take in a Mets game. If you are in Newark don't stray too far from the airport. Out of towners and tourists stand out like neon in the middle of the night. Take it from a guy who grew up in New York. However….there is a Portugese restaurant only minutes from the airport there that all cab drivers will know about. The normal tourist attractions ie Science Center, Statue of Liberty are also close. Hope this get to you in time. I've been in airports for 12 hours and longer. I'd rather be in direct sunlight. Hope the rest of your trip gets better, Tom. Take care.
