New York in June

melymay

So, off to NY in June and have plans to stay with friends and family but appear to have a few days staying on my own . .

Not concerned about this as I have travelled on my own before but was just interested if anyone has heard of anything unusual to do . .not off the beaten track as such but just something a bit quirky, not really interested in shopping or major touristy things . . just things that are fun and different and (really) do not involve heights !!

thanks for any suggestions

my top tip is get yourself a big apple greeter they are free and are local who will show you round unusual off the beaten track places, my one recommended loads of locals bars,restaurants and clothes shops that you wont find in tourism guides:

book early though as they do get full up quickly

oh also walk the highline, fear not its high as in heights

I enjoyed visiting an old tenement building that had recreated rooms according to how previous residents had lived. I chose to have a tour of an apartment based on how an Irish family had lived 150 years ago which was very interesting. I was the only foreigner on the tour as it seemed popular with holidaying Americans.

Not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but if you're there between 9th and 16th, it's a British choir (St Chad's College, Durham University), in residence at St Thomas' Fifth Avenue.
Am sure they'd love some support from home.

Take a look at (and possibly re-post) on the NY thread. Everything you need to know is on there.
