Bike the Big Apple
Biking tours let you cover more ground than walking tours – and give you a healthy dose of exercise to boot. Bike the Big Apple, recommended by NYC & Company (the official tourism authority of New York City and operators of www.nycgo.com), offers five set tours. Its most popular is the six-hour Back to the Old Country – the Ethnic Apple Tour, 12 miles of riding that covers Williamsburg, Roosevelt Island and the east side of Manhattan. Other tours visit the Bronx’ Little Italy, city parks, Brooklyn chocolate shops and Manhattan at night.

Bowlmor Lanes
Among retro-crazed New Yorkers, a night of bowling qualifies as quite a hoot. Maybe it’s the shoes, or all the pitchers of beer. Open since 1938, Bowlmor has Manhattan’s go-to-lanes for stars, bar mitzvah parties and beer-slugging NYU students. After 9pm Monday, it goes DJ-blasting glow-in-the-dark, with unlimited bowling for $24 including shoe rental (age 21 and up).

West 4th Street Basketball Courts
Also known as ‘the Cage,’ this small basketball court that stands enclosed within chain-link fencing is home to some of the best streetball in the country. Though it’s more touristy than its counterpart, Rucker Park in Harlem, that’s also part of its charm, as the games held here in the center of the Village draw massive, excitable crowds, who often stand 10-deep to hoot and holler for the skilled, competitive guys who play here. Prime time is summer, when the W 4th St Summer Pro-Classic League, with daily high-energy games, hits the scene. While the height of this court’s popularity was back in 2001 – the year Nike capitalized on the raw energy of the place by shooting a…
