#Unusual Things To See and Do In NYC

7. Upright Citizens Brigade Theater

New York is well known for its theater and live performance – and sure, while you’re here you should definitely catch a show on Broadway. But don’t overlook some of the lesser-known joints, where you can buy tickets for a show at a fraction of the price you might pay elsewhere, and see breakout stars for whom you might pay a lot more in years to come. Stand up comedy and improv are the order of the day here and some seriously funny people take the mic, so come with your sides firmly stitched up because they are more than likely to split otherwise.

8. Brooklyn Flea Market

A trip to New York will pretty much always include some shopping but if your style is somewhat more unique than to simply head to a department store that dispenses little brown bags, then you need to track down The Brooklyn Flea Market. Why track down? Because it changes location according to the season- indoors in winter, outdoors in summer. Come with some cash even if you are just intending to browse – with loads of stalls to explore and a huge range of goods to sift through, you’re bound to find something you absolutely have to have. The street food on offer is awesome, too.
