Adventurous things to do in New York City

For some people living or visiting New York City means taking in a Broadway show and splurging on a couple of great restaurants. Others just want to walk around and soak in the sights, sounds, and visuals of the city. And then there are yet other people who want a taste of adventure and don’t believe that surviving the day dodging homeless people and getting to the other side of the street safely is enough of an adventure.

I’ve compiled a list of adventurous things to do in New York City that you will remember for a long, long time. Here are my top picks for adventures in the city:
