dushi82's "25 Things You Must Do and See When You Visit NYC"

Forget the tourist traps…well, most of them, anyway. Of course, you’re going to see a Broadway show - but wouldn’t you like to see where theater really happens in NYC? And yes, you’ll see The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island - but what about other monuments that are off the beaten track? What about the cool stuff no one ever talks about or the things the tour guides never show you? Here are a few of my personal favorites (especially if you are a person of color).
