Fantastic list: More suggestions.

76) Attend either St. Francis of Assisi Day or the Christmas Pageant at the Church of the Heavenly Rest - one has all kinds of people bringing their pets to be blessed, the other has LIVE LLAMAS AND DONKEYS AND LAMBS (!!!) on "stage."

77) The Walter Kerr Theatre. "A Little Night Music" is playing now and it's superb!

78) Cycle down the West Side Highway bike path

79) Attend a film night at the Guggenheim. They had a Fellini festival a few years ago and it was quite an experience!
