Ideas for scavenger hunt in NYC

<p>My son, who lives in NYC and rarely does anything touristy - he’s been there 6 years now, and has been to exactly 1 Broadway play (Lion King). I don’t think he’s ever been to the Statue of Liberty, the Top of the Rock, or the Empire State Building. But he HAS ridden the Toys R Us ferris wheel – twice. And both times he was - randomly - in the pink Barbie car, which he thinks is hysterical.</p>

<p>He has, though, been to more concerts in NYC in the past six years than I’ve been to in my life.</p>

<p>The Atlas statue at Rockefeller Center</p>

<p>They should find a car inside a building. (There is a Mercedes dealership on Park Ave at around 65th street)</p>

<p>^^^Does the Barbie car count? :)</p>

<p>My D just did this last weekend. But she lives in NYC now.</p>

<p>Happened to be browsing some of my photos from our last trip to NYC, and came up with a few more ideas for your list:</p>

<p>someone in costume (I have Elmo and Spiderman)
a bicycle rickshaw
Cartier window display
A pashmina display, or a pretzle stand
“No horn blowing” sign (a favorite at our house)
A fire station (or a trade center memorial)</p>

<p>If you include Central Park (you could have an entire hunt just in Central Park):
joggers
musicians busking
topiary
horse and carriage
3 bears statue
carousel
(lake, castle, etc…)</p>
