There are all sorts of tours of New York City. Depending on your interests, you can probably find an interesting tour. As noted in our blog a week ago, we recently took Kramer's Reality Tour. Since we are Seinfeld fans, we had a very good time. The Real Kramer is very entertaining.
During Sally's visit not too long ago, Susan and Sally took the Gossip Girl Sites Tour, seeing all the sites and filming locations featured in the TV series. The show was filmed in a New York studio (Silvercup Studios in Queens) and on location in NYC, mainly on the Upper East Side. In fact, a couple of the locations are near our apartment. So, if you are a Gossip Girl fan, you would enjoy the tour. (Susan was clueless but still enjoyed it,)

P.S. The guide on the tour, Kelsey Wang, a recent Duke graduate, mentioned that all the guides are also actors. Coincidentally, about a month after the Gossip Girl tour, Susan and Greg were happily surprised to see Kelsey in a lead role in an off-off-Broadway play adapted from the Chinese classic "A Dream of Red Pavilions". The play was enjoyable and Kelsey was convincing in her role.
