Stadium

9.7Barclays CenterProspect Heights$Go for a Nets game: a cheap weekday seat up top, a loud Brooklyn crowd, and dinner and drinks before or after instead of inside.9.7Citi FieldFlushing$Cheap weekday seats, a Queens crowd and a whole ballgame for less than a night at a bar. Eat before, drink after, and just watch the game.9.7Yankee StadiumConcourse$A cheap weekday ticket, a seat in the upper deck and fifty thousand people around you. Eat before, drink after, and just watch the game.

Cigar lounge

9.4Casa de Montecristo Cigar LoungeMidtown$$$Walk in and you are somewhere else — the premier cigar lounge in New York, and a humidor worth the trip alone.

Shop

9.1Martinez Handmade CigarsChelsea$Cigars rolled in front of you just off Seventh Avenue — walk in and you could be in the Dominican Republic.

Market

9.1Arthur Avenue Retail MarketArthur Avenue$$An indoor market La Guardia built to get the pushcarts off the street, still full of the same families.6.9SmorgasburgBrooklyn$$Dozens of food vendors outdoors on weekends. A huge, diverse spread, but it can feel overpriced: better as a group outing than a meal.

Bathhouse

8.9BathhouseWilliamsburg$$$$The modern take on the old-school bathhouse, with a bar and restaurant attached.Rating TBDRussian & Turkish BathsEast Village$$$Open on East 10th since 1892, and it has not been turned into a spa.

Hookah lounge

8.1Horus CafeEast Village$$The down-to-earth hookah lounge Manhattan is short of — properly prepared, coals kept up, no forced vibe.

Oddity

7.5Roosevelt Island TramwayNew York City$A cable car over the East River for the price of a subway ride. Worth it if you can make it, but you are not missing much if you cannot.
