Odd Things

Granted that NYC is much larger and more diverse then my previous two homes (Cleveland and Grand Rapids), I still can not help but chuckle when I read about things to do around the city. In addition to the things you would typically think about doing in NYC (Broadway, shopping, a Yankees game, etc...) there are other amazing experiences that this city has to offer. This includes food and wine tastings, film festivals, etc. but there is also an assortment of odd activities.

Here is a sample of the ones that make me chuckle the most....
