The 2 hour "Taste of Sailing" offered by Hudson River Community Sailing (hudsonsailing.org) is an amazing way to escape the city without actually leaving. You get awe-inspiring views of the city and get to help drive the boat if you feel so inclined. My husband and I simply loved it. Really nice staff and right next to the Frying Pan so great drinks after the sail are just steps away!
- Anonymouswww.alacartemaps.com - These maps are kind of a mix of map and guidebook; it's a fold-out map that is full of insider tips for things to see and do in the Big Apple. Very handy, super quality, and most of all, beautifully drawn maps (like hand-drawn or something). I highly recommend this to both tourists and locals. Also makes a great gift (that's how I got it - twice :))
- BryanWhenever I have visitors in the city, I like to take them on one of the TV and Movie Tours: Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, Sopranos, or the TV & Movie one from http://www.screentours.com. It's a fun way to see the city (especially on a rainy day) and it's something different than your average tour of the city.
