Offbeat tours of NYC?
 
We go to NYC about once a year, so have done the usual attractions. Wondering what's new to do--we are adventurous!

Have you looked at New York Magazine and Time Out New York web sites to se what special events are taking place on your specific dates. They list hundreds - searchable by category and date.

A friend of mine went to the (relatively) new Museum of Sex recently and found it interesting - but not if you're easily shocked.

I took the following on the last trip =

Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour - loved it

Foodofny tours - I loved the original Greenwich tour I took years ago but the SoHo trip I just took was so-so.

SATC tour - If you like the show or movie, the Sex and the City Tour was pure froth - and fun. Not for kids.

Central Park Bike tour - enjoyed it

If you are a Wicked fan, the Behind the Emerald Curtain was a very interesting two hours

For a view, do the Top of the Rock instead of the Empire State Building - no waiting

I did not do the Circle line but wanted to.

zerve.com is GREAT for searching for "offbeat tours" for "adventerous folks". Their user reviews and star system are very helpful.
