8. ATTRACTIONS: Top of the Rock at 30 Rockefeller Plaza on July 27 and throughout the month

Want to see the Empire State Building, Central Park and the Chrysler Building after a trip that takes less than 60 seconds? Climb 70 stories (850 feet) in a glass-ceilinged elevator to the peak of this 1933 skyscraper and take in panoramic views of the city from an open-air deck designed to look like an ocean liner. For an extra dose of romance, go in the evening to watch the sun descending over Manhattan.

9. SPORTS: Manchester City vs. Liverpool at Yankee Stadium on July 30

If you still find yourself shouting Gooooooooooool! at the office two weeks after the World Cup has ended, feed your football fever by watching two top European soccer teams kick it out at Yankee Stadium when English Premier League champs Manchester City take on Luis Suarez and Liverpool. Yes, this Euro “football” stuff is fun – just be sure to drink a Bud at the ballpark to remind yourself that you’re still in America.

It’s all free, so pack a picnic, take in the water views and revel in Sean Connery’s refusal to change his Scottish accent even when playing a Russian naval captain.
