Suggestions on how to spend anniversary
I know I want to spend the day in the city, but not sure how. We will be going to dinner later on. It's a Sunday, TIA!

Re: Suggestions on how to spend anniversary
There's always Broadway!
We caught a matinee of Avenue Q - flipping funnnnnny, it's ending in September so if you're interested - go see it. It's a small theatre so don't spend the extra money on good seats. If you're in the mezzanine - you'll see just fine.
Otherwise - I'm not much help - I'm so not a city girl.
Greenwich Village has free walking tours:
Discover the Village with our FREE WALKING TOURS that weave together the highlights of history with delicious inside stories. The free walking tours of St. Marks Place & 8th Street are led by Arthur Marks, Greenwich Village's premier raconteur & favorite tour guide.
Tours depart from the northwest corner of 2nd Avenue & St Marks Place at 11:30 AM. Coming by subway, take the R or W to the 8th Street Station or the #6 to Astor Place & walk one to two blocks east to 2nd Avenue.
July 11 & 25
Aug. 8, 22 & 29
Sept. 12 & 26
Oct. 10

Re: Suggestions on how to spend anniversary
We did!
We went on a Saturday morning - it opened at 10am - we got there by 9:30am. The line was long but not too long. This was for a matinee. If you wanted tix to a night show, I think they opened at 2 or 3pm. But then you kinda kill your day waiting on line... So I recommend getting matinee tix.
We got great seats to Avenue Q.
I would go even earlier if you were looking for a popular show like Mamma Mia or something.
Oh - and we ate at Virgil's BBQ. We sat at the bar...I had made reservations but when we got there, the bar was open so we just sat there and cancelled the reservations.
