NYC ideas

My husband and I are taking our annual Manhattan club week beginning Feb 22. We have done lots of the standard tourist stuff, and are looking for some interesting ideas. Last time we did a walking/eating tour of soho? which was lots of fun. Any discount coupon books or anything like that?
thanks,

Go to the Metropolitan Opera!

You can get Dress Circle seats (if available) for about $100 each.
Way better than Broadway - - unforgettable!

We did the Village one which is the only one running at that time of the year and we thought it was very interesting. It's like a walking tour and mystery theatre rolled together and we saw places we would never have seen otherwise.

Scavenger Hunt NYC...

We did this as a team building experience around Grand Central, but they also do public hunts and lots of other locations. Lots of fun!

Wow Thanks!

My family is planning a trip to NYC, PA and WA DC this summer. These are some of the best links I have seen yet! I just sent off an email to see if the scavenger hunt will be available in any of the cities while we are there!

THANKS!

Thanks for the other cool links. I sent them to DSis (NYC) and DD(CT).

How about a walking tour of Brooklyn, the nations 4th largest city as of 1898 when it merged during the formation of the current NYC.

we found the www.foodsofny.com tour to be really great....walking tour with samples...yum..just do it early in your stay because you will want to go back to the area to go to some of the restaurants.

"Annual trip" sounds like you've really lucked out with exchanging. I've gotten some good trades in as well, although I'm kinda bummed I'm going to have to give up my July 4th week this coming summer (can't go everywhere, and I'm also moving soon and thus have to slim down the vacation plans.) Anyway, since you go every year, you might want to check out trade shows...many good ones come to NYC, even in Feb. Also, for a nice restaurant with warming Mexican comfort food during a cold Feb day, check out the Iguana cafe, W. 54th between 8th & Bway, very close to Manhattan Club (and right where Studio 54 used to be!) They have a Sunday brunch special that can't be beat, and their other menus are fine too. Have fun on your trip!
