Things to do in New York City

Family CUNT will come tomorrow, but today I'm making a list, and I need your help. Since we'll be in the City of Best Pizza, etc, I have been thinking of things I need and need to do while we're there.

On my list so far:
  • Art after Dark at the Guggenheim. It's supposed to be an amazing party in the museum with DJs, drinks, and art. What's not to love?
  • Go to the top of the Empire State Building. Yes, I know. I grew up going to New York every other weekend, yet I haven't done this.
  • Some of the Thursday night concert series at the South Street Seaport.
  • Bryant Park Summer Season--free music, dance & film across the street from Jer's office.
  • Metropolitan Opera Parks: free performances through June and July.
  • Museum Mile Festival: museum open-house (second Sunday in June).
  • Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade
  • New York Jazz Festival
  • Howl Festival at Tompkins Square Park
  • Wine classes at the Astor Center
Any other ideas of things we should do?

You should go to Wave Hill in Riverdale for a "sunset supper"--dinner on the old estate overlooking the Hudson--on a Wednesday night.

Also, I've never been but heard about a first Friday thing at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, similar to the Guggenheim thing in a way, but more dancing focused

oh, and you should weekend (at least once) in the "country" aka Connecticut (meaning with me, of course)

And, my parents love Mercer Kitchen. I haven't been but have heard only wonderful things.
