) and going to the Top of the Rock. FAO Schwarz also sounds like fun, though likely packed.

Just to close the loop, I landed at T5 on-time (~10:15 AM), took my bags to the T1 baggage storage facility (oddly, the all-terminal AirTrain was running counter-clockwise on the outer track that day), took the AirTrain to Jamaica and caught the LIRR to Penn Station. I got to Penn right at noon, and I took Blumie's suggestion and went to Keens and had lunch at their bar. Awesome place, so many thanks! They even let me keep the "Here's the bad news" folder where they include the check . I got back to JFK around 2:15 PM, which was in plenty of time for my 4:15 flight to IST.
