Things to do in the evening in NYC for teen girl and mom?

My 17 year old daughter and I are going to NYC for a few days in June. What, besides Broadway shows, are some things we can do in the evenings? Comedy clubs? Live music places that are appropriate for both a teen and a mom? Any other suggestions? Only looking for evening entertainment options, we have the days covered.Things to do in the evening in NYC for teen girl and mom?
if you like Jazz, there are countless Jazz clubs all around town, but a large concentration of them in Greenwich Village; or,



if you like more Classical Music or Opera, check out what's going on at Lincoln Center or Carnegie Hall; or,



there are numerous Art Movie Houses around town showing foreign and independent films not showing anywhere else; MoMA has film nights, and Film Forum is just one art movie house...



EDIT: i just thought of this: how about taking in a baseball game? you can see either the Yankees or the Mets, whoever's here when you're in town...Things to do in the evening in NYC for teen girl and mom?
you're very welcome, and have a great time in June in NYC!

You don't say what dates you are which would help to give you specific events, but I've posted a link for June to a site that has events in Manhattan many of which are free. In the summer, you can find free concerts all over the city outdoors, free movies along the piers and other places, dancing outside at Lincoln Square or in Riverside Park etc.



Yes, there are comedy clubs, and of course a Mets or Yankee's game, but even more fun would be to take the Brooklyn Bound Q train to the last stop Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island, get nathan's Franks and Fries and go see a Brooklyn Cyclones baseball game. You can ride the amazing Cyclone Rollercoaster (8 dollars a ride, discounted if you stay on to ride again) and walk the boardwalk into Brighton Beach for Russian Food. You can do this in the day but at night it is much more fun..Things to do in the evening in NYC for teen girl and mom?
You should go to shop in China Town or Little Italy. Personally, when I went to New York, I really enjoyed checking out all of the nice purses they had for sale. A few other things that you might like to try out are Madame Tussards Wax Museam (this was really cool when I went, I just wish I had more time to go), Top Of The Rock (you basically go up to this really high building %26amp; get to see all of New York from up there, it's cold though), %26amp; maybe even the Jeckel %26amp; Hyde shop, I've never been there but it looked very interesting when I passed it on my bus. You could go out to eat at this really cool restaurant called Mars 2112 I believe, it's decked out to look all solar system like with the waitor's %26amp; waitresses dressed up as aliens. It might sound a little childish, but I thougt it was really cool when I went, the food was a little expensive though, but then again, most things are in New York.
IM a local i say go to the statue of liberty and and Elise island for $15 a person you can also go to the top of the rock observation deck, central park, walk the bridges, a real nice spot is the board walk near the ferry if you go down 10 min there's a awesome surf and turf restaurant

called south meets west, i also suggest going to Brooklyn Conney island china town Manhattan or you could go to new Jersey its like 20 minuets away i would also go to this water park called splish splash in long island near tanger style outlet



in Manhattan there's also lots of street festivals you might get to one and also go to pier 17Things to do in the evening in NYC for teen girl and mom?
Definitely a Broadway show if you could do it. If not, there's shopping in times square, madison ave, and china town (which is great!) and walking thru central park during the day. Evenings, there are lots of nice restaurants, shows, stores, etc. You can always find something to do there.
Dinner suggestion - start at Times Square. From there north there are a few nice, and different, restaurants, not too expensive. (Sbarros has a buffet that's nice.)



@Beth:

Stop! You're making me homesick for Brighton. :)
Go see the play Xanadu. Get stage seating. You'll have a blast!
