Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Fun Activities & Games
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Mission Escape Games unique and fun experience in which you and a group of people (friends or complete strangers) strive to beat the clock to obtain freedom from your "puzzle." The door's locked and you need the key. Pit your will and mind against puzzles, piece together clues and at the end, break out! You have 1 hour to finish the game.

My group of four people had a great time here. The business was clean well organized and new. I highly recommend this escape room for the team building exercises and cognitive thinking that is need to escape the room. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. I can't wait to try the next few rooms.

The Rage Cage is a unique and fun way to let off a little stress that New Yorkers just always seem to have. People go to The Rage Cage to smash plates and bash a variety of electronics such as VCRs, laptops, office phones, and more.

This is an excellent and fun escape room! The puzzles were intricate and challenging. The entire room was very well done and made for an excited hour and a half. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys this kind of challenge! We did The Penitentiary which is the hardest of their three rooms and even though we didn’t quite make it out we still had a blast while doing it! I’m very excited to come back and try their other two rooms!

You never know what you will get at UCB! Lots of variety. Character comedy always a hit. Improv can be occasionally hit or miss on the laughs, but at $9 per ticket in a great new midtown theater, (formerly the Pearl Theater) with such spirited, generous performers, no one should EVER EVER complain here. There’s also wine and beer for sale in the lobby... I personally love “Characters Welcome”, the next to last Thursday of each month, hosted by two comics with such endearing chemistry, Sarah Parsons and Eric Feurer. They each perform a character while introducing a group of other characters, I belly laughed all the way through, and really enjoyed the two MCs’ banter with us, the audience. I have also seen evenings of two mini-plays, each showcasing one performer. And those with bigger casts. I love the variety. I also love the proximity of Treadwell Park right down the street, which has free popcorn, games, and an $8 rare cheeseburger to die for that comes with a free beer during happy hour. No worries about timing since UCB is a short walk away. I’m happy to occasionally pay big bucks for Broadway but this is frankly a steal for a great fun night with friends!

As someone who is awful at bowling, literally the Queen of gutter balls, this was an amazing family day out! I signed my family up for the family package (2hrs bowling, shoes, and delicious food) this past Sunday, and we had a blast! I loved this package because the price was a great deal, the food is delicious, and the environment is tons of fun with DJ's and music. Will be here again, since the location is also very convenient and close to me.
