12. Queen The Ride In terms of unique New York City experiences, Queen The Ride ticks all the right boxes. Pic- ture riding around the Times Square area of Manhattan in a special designed coach with ex- tra-large side and roof windows. A drag host points out the sights while a barman dishes up bottomless vodka and soda. The coach pulls up for surprise drag performances from street entertainers – all of which we watch from the comfort of your seat via in-built speakers (goodness know what the tourists outside made of it all but most had bemused smiles). All of this still pales in comparison to the neon and LED-lit splendor of Times Square itself. The ride takes place on one Saturday a month, and picks up and drops off in Hell’s Kitchen.
