Top 10 Fun Activities & Games in Downtown Manhattan (Downtown), New York (NY)
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.

Went there with my 13 year old to lighten up the sightseeing a bit for him. We BOTH had a blast and so much fun. The place itself is super clean, people could not be any friendlier and explain everything really well. Even for those who think NYC is all about Time Square, this is just a short subway ride away - you will have tons of fun and as a bonus discover a much cooler neighborhood.

Non-profit cinema and film buff's hangout.
Reviewed By arbknyc - Brooklyn, United States
The films shown here are curated with passion, intellect, respect for the filmmaker and his/her audience. Here in NYC we have a number of art house cinemas, but none invoke the timelessness of the genre quite like the Film Forum. Sign in to their website to get a true sense of what I'm saying. Additional perks: excellent coffee, organic chocolates and ice cream sandwiches, etc.
6. Comedy Cellar

Greenwich Village comedy club.
Reviewed By hugomC112UH - Tampa, United States
This is probably the greatest comedy club in the world. Always a fantastic line up. Some very well known comics, some lesser known. I've been there when Chris Rock & Aziz Ansari dropped in announced. The regular line up are always stellar, Gary Gulman, Joe List, Joe Machi & Attell always kills.
