A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour
The effusive Brooklyn Borough president Marty Markowitz just loves this focused tour. And who wouldn’t want to spend more than four hours downing a gut-busting range of insanely delicious slices, from the brick-oven Neapolitan style of Grimaldi’s to the authentic Sicilian squares of L&B Spumoni Gardens? A guide mouths off about the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Red Hook, Bensonhurst and more while you’re chewing.

Big Apple Greeter Program
If you find NYC a bit overwhelming – and who wouldn’t? – call to set up an intimate stroll, in the neighborhood of your choice, led by a local volunteer who just can’t wait to show off his or her city to you. You’ll be matched with a guide who suits your needs, whether that means speaking Spanish or American Sign Language, or knowing just where to find the best wheelchair-accessible spots in the city.

Phototrek Tours
If the photo record of your trip is just as – if not more – important than the experience itself (you know who you are), let guide and photographer Marc Samuels (or a member of his capable staff) lead you through some of the most picturesque spots in the city, and take professional photos of you in front of each one. Choose from Central Park, Midtown and downtown; tours are for private groups or couples only.

Watson Adventures Scavenger Hunts
Go beyond walking and talking with Watson, which turns each tour into a game by making you hunt for things – be it answers to interesting questions or quirky items – as you go about your journey. Tours vary, but most are great for children, such as hunts in both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Natural History, which have you scour the grounds for mummies, knights and bones.

Blizzard Beach
Though the newer of Disney’s two water parks, Blizzard Beach is the 1980s Vegas Strip hotel to Typhoon Lagoon’s Bellagio. At its center sits the snowcapped Mt Gushmore, from which the waterslides burst forth. You can choose several options for your descent, but because the wooden-bench chairlift that transports riders to the top rarely works you’ll have to huff it up before you can zoom down. But don’t worry – the lines are usually so long you’ll have plenty of time to relax on the way up!
