No plays, movies, etc. something a little different. Thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

go on the Beast!!!

Answer 2

Take the Staten Island ferry for great views of the harbor!  It's either free or dirt cheap...

Go rollerblading or biking in Central Park -- you'll see a lot more of the park on a bike.  Or have a picnic in Strawberry Fields in Central Park.

Go to the Metropolitan Museum or the Guggenheim Museum.

Eat dinner or get a drink at a sidewalk cafe in the East Village and people-watch.

Take the N train to Astoria (Ditmars stop -- last stop) and go to a Greek restaurant like Stamatis.  Then walk down to the river by the bridges...

Have a great time!  I am SO envious!

Beat up Bums !

It all depends on what your friend is into. If he is into the bar scene, there is a fun bar called The Big Easy on 2nd ave@ 92 street. Or if its a nice dinner you want, you can check out Saigon Grill on 620 @ 90th street, or Sushi Samba on 87and 7th ave.

Go to get cupcakes from the Magnolia Bakery at 11th and Bleecker in the W. Village. You could always stick a candle in one of them.
