4 hour layover at JFK

This thread has been done before but it%26#39;s been a while and the circumstances are a little different. My younger sister is traveling from US Virgin Islands (St Thomas) and has a 4 hour layover at JFK on their way back to Oklahoma. This will be her first time ';in'; the NYC vicinity so she wants to see something - anything!

As it%26#39;s a domestic flight on the same airline, so I don%26#39;t think they%26#39;ll need to worry about a ton of extra time re-checking bags or dealing with customs. There will be 4 of them (2 adults and 2 18 y/o).

She realizes they won%26#39;t be able to ';do'; anything so just ';seeing'; something would be enough. What would be the quintessential ';thing'; if you only had a minute in the city? Are there any quickie tours they could hire or maybe just ask a cabbie if they%26#39;d drive them around for X time? A place to go just for a quick view? I don%26#39;t think anyone in their party has been in NYC at all so pretty much anything would be cool.
