My niece is coming into town this weekend. She's 15, so too old for The Lion King (which I think she's seen anyway) and too young for bars. What is there for a teenager to do? She likes photography, so I was thinking of photo galleries (any recommendations?) but otherwise am at a loss. I live in Manhattan but could show her Williamsburg--she might like that.

Her boyfriend might be with us, so that would probably put the kibosh on shopping.

Any help appreciated!

What about a different Broadway show? They'd probably enjoy Avenue Q, Spelling Bee, Wedding Singer, or Rent.

go horseback riding in prospect park!

Has she/or boyfriend been to NYC before? If not, there are always the typical sites as well.

Take them to see the Weegee exhibit at the International Center for Photogrpahy on 6th

Here's what my 15-yr-old loved . . .

1. The Phantom of the Opera musical
2. Rent, the musical(I can't adequately describe the expression of her face during these performances. She was awe-struck!)
3. Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge
4. Dinners at the Noho Star, La Boite en Bois and Rosa Mexicano in Manhattan 5. Shopping at H&M
6. Shopping at second hand stores on St Marks
7. Shopping and walking in Soho
8. Times Square lights

Thanks, guys! These are great!
