My girlfriend lives in New york and she works from 8am until 6-8pm.I came to visit her last year from New Zealand and spent a month here. I found myself getting extremely bored and frustrated.This year I came here again and im staying here for 3 weeks.I am looking for stuff to do while im here, last year I found myself mostly wondering the streets aimlessly. I would go to museums and exhibits but its not something I want to do alone.Any ideas of interesting things I can do alone during the day while im here?thank you :D

Not much to do in New York, New York the city so nice they named it twice , that is for sure. Staying for 3 whole weeks? How boring! You should try some other place... Rome maybe. Neah. Nothing there but some old buildings. Same for London. Maybe Paris! Well, no. Not unless you are into western culture. Rabat perhaps or Shankhai, Capetown? Wow... Dullsville every last one. What about Christchurch? What do you do there?
shitake,Native New yorker always gives awesome answers to this kind of question.Also take a look at our New York Events Calendar for a listing of fun and interesting things going on in the city while your there.
i can understand your frustration, such a small town and i have heard they roll up the streets at 10pm. things to do in N.Y.C.. to bad they don t have any sports teams there or zoos. maybe you could find a live theater with shows or maybe a club with live music probably not, wish i could be more help good luck.......Trying to find something to do in NYC
your best bet would be to look in time out new yorkheres the website:http://newyork.timeout.com/it actually gives ideas for things to do, places to see and when they occur.
