Katherine Ripley • November 20, 2015

Think you’ve seen everything there is to see in New York? You’re wrong. Here are some great places to go if you’re looking for a new adventure:

1. LES African Burial Ground

Yes, there is actually an African burial ground in Manhattan, and you can visit it as part of the Tenements, Tales & Tastes tour on the Fever app this weekend. The tour includes other super cool cultural landmarks, and tons of food.

2. Kings County Distillery

This adventure will take you to a part of Brooklyn you’ve never been to before. You can get a tour of this distillery and a tasting of their whiskey for only $8 when you buy your ticket on Fever.

3. Winter Village

Have you not been to the Winter Village in Bryant Park yet? Now is the time to go, because the crowds are going to get insane starting next weekend. Find some holiday gifts among the open-air market, eat cookies, or go ice skating.

4. Bushwick Graffiti Tour

Bushwick is on its way up, but for many New Yorkers it might still be a shady, mysterious place. It’s worth exploring on this tour if you’re interested in street art. Tickets are only $15.

5. Brooklyn Bridge

Sometimes a place you’ve been a hundred times can become a new place to explore. This tour explains the history behind the bridge’s design and architecture. Even if you cross this bridge every day, you can still learn something new about it.
