Fun Stuff for a 20 year guy in the city

njgal · May 27th, 2009, 10:08 AM

My brother is flying into town for the weekend.

What's some fun and unique things that a GUY might enjoy to do for a day in the city? He's not a shopper!

*Please don't tell me to leave him at Websters hall*

Thanks

if u r in NJ take him to six flags ? if it isnt too far from u.

Best things for the guys this age is hanging out with frndz his age. he might also appreciate his fav dishes and getting to relax at home.

If he's into sightseeing/tours...get him booked on one of the tours offered by gotobus.com - there's loads of variety and he can do a one day tour and still spend time with you/family

Hope that helps

hmm....

give him a camera and map of manhattan.. throw him out of home at 10:00 Am .. and furiously told him to come back after 3:00 AM

hope he will have good time !...

or the second option can be... i am going to Queens for flying kites.... lahori type "ghuddi charhney" .. interested... let me know.. but i have no guarantee of bad influence on him

Hmm Webster Hall would only be fun with a bunch of people....and Webster Hall isnt all that. Hmm. I like the Great Adventure Idea. You can do normal touristy stuff, if he hasnt been to NY much, maybe Bronx Zoo/ Central Park. How about going down to South Street Seaport and renting bikes and taking a ride by the waterfront?

Thanks for the great ideas.

six flags sounds like fun - if the weather cooperates. Any good broadway shows?

I took the day off and we rented bikes in central park, which was fun.

He had obession of eating cupcakes from magnolia bakery (which I had not heard of - it was in song I guess) - which were delicious but the line was soooo long.

Shopped a bit on Fifth Ave - I did the shopping and he carried my bags (I love him)

Hit Times square - took funny pictures with the naked cowboy to show to mom and dad

Had a good lunch - walked around some more

Took more funny pictures in Saks fifth and the church

Caught a show and both are dead tired.... I have two more days to entertain him. I unleash the kids on him tomorrow.
