96. See a Broadway Show

One thing that should be on your list is to see a show here. There are more than 36 theatres in close proximity, with some of them hosting great performances by well-known artists.
Whether you enjoy big-budget musicals or plays, you will find a show that you will enjoy. Most theatres have a restaurant close by where you can get an evening meal before or after the show.
Make a night of it, check into a hotel, see a show, have a meal, and make it an evening to remember!

97. Adirondack Mountains

If you need to get away from the big city for a few days, then make sure you head up here. You will find this just a few hours north of the city.
There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors, such as skiing, hunting, fishing, walking, and hiking, so whatever you enjoy, you will be able to do.
This is a great area to take an RV, spend a few days and relax.

98. Fish for free

If you enjoy fishing, then this is something that will appeal to you. The city has over 500 miles of shoreline. There are also rivers and lakes where you can take a rod and reel.
You will find places that hire equipment on a daily or weekly basis, so you will have plenty of opportunity to fish to your heart’s content.
Even better is that it is free to fish in every borough, although city regulations need to be obeyed.

99. 5 Beekman Street

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in the heart of the financial district in Manhattan. The odd thing about it is that it has been empty for decades!
The Victorian style is now one of the few still remaining buildings here, with cast iron railings and high ceilings.
Not one soul has lived in or worked in the building since the 1940’s, although now there is a hotel inside which is worth looking at. Perhaps you can find out the reason it has been unoccupied for all those years!

100. Eat some chopped cheese

This may sound horrible, but it is in fact a staple of Brooklyn delicatessens. Unlike bagels, which most people are familiar with, the chopped cheese sandwich remains relatively unknown outside the area.
Be prepared to try one of these as you might get to like them!
You will find this delicacy at most sandwich shops. Try to keep an open mind and have one! Most will come with ground beef, melted cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato in a roll. You can add or omit any of the ingredients as you wish. Enjoy!
