Type-A sightseeing

See all the sights Manhattan has to offer--literally--when you hop on a Liberty helicopter (12th Avenue and W. 30th Street). A whirlwind five-minute tour of the Big Apple runs $84 plus tip; 10 minutes costs $134.

When you come back to earth, take a cab to Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, where a pair of stone lions--Patience and Fortitude--guard the New York Public Library and roar every time a virgin passes (or so legend has it). Behind the library is Bryant Park, with lots of green space, chairs, and free Wi-Fi. When you get hungry, try the upscale Asian fare at Koi, across the street in the Bryant Park Hotel (40 W. 40th St.).

Finally, head south to the Museum of Sex (Fifth Avenue and 27th Street; $14.50) to see naked people--in photos--and learn about the history and evolution of human sexuality.
