What are some fun things to do in NYC? I've done all the normal tourist stuff (ESB, SOL)...other stuff?

Here are some ideas of what you can do. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:

Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.

UPPER WEST SIDE:

Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,

Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.

MIDTOWN:

Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

Museum of Modern Art

Sony Bldg

Rockefeller Center

Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats!

Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington.

Empire State Bldg.

The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids.



CHELSEA:

Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun.



WALL ST:

Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve. Seaport area is great to see.



THE VILLAGE:

Funky shops in the West Village. Walk through the NYU Washington Square Park. The East Village has some shops from new artists and designers



SOHO:

Great galleries and shops on n off West Broadway. Walk thru to Little Italy for awesome meals and desserts...walk through Chinatown. CANAL STREET has stall after stall of Designer "copies"...bring cash and bargain and watch your purse!

The South Street Seaport is an amazing place to visit. Ships, shops, restaurants, great views of the NYC skyline. The "Bodies" exhibit is something not to be missed. Grand Central Station is another cool place to check out.
bars in the UWS, Beer garden in astoria queens, Museum of sex, generic bum/crackhead circus in central park.

They have free waliking tours of Grand Central Station which last an hour or so and are very entertaining. Also, you can set up tours with guides thorugh various areas of Central Park. Most of them are free as well.
You can take an helicopter tour!!! Its great, if you feel ok up in the air...
