When vacationing in Edinburgh, my wife and I greatly enjoyed the City of the Dead Ghost Tour. We stopped at many of the city’s most haunted places, with the knowledgeable guide giving us detailed stories of each location. Additionally, the guide was hilarious, offering tons of jokes, in order to keep us alternating between laughing and scared.

This is a hidden gem to do while in New York and it is free. If you know way in advance when you are going to be in New York you can request tickets to see a live taping of David Letterman on the attached link. More than likely you will be rejected. Do not give up hope. It is easy to score some tickets to see Letterman. Simply call the number on this web site at precisely 11 am on the day you want to go. Call at 10:59 and you will just get a busy signal. Later in the hour and you will be shut out. From 11 to about 11:15 you call that number and answer a trivia question about the show. Mine was what color is the announcers hair (red). If you answer correctly they tell you to go to the studio at a specific time and you are given a number. When you get there you are put in line by number order after you have shown your ID that proves you are supposed to be there. Even if you answer the question wrong you will be given a number just put later in the line. Almost everybody on line gets in. Just call early and you will get a low number. Wear something warm because the studio is freezing.

This is an extremely whimsical museum that displays satirical and comical art work from The New Frankfurt School, which is known as Germany's home for satirists. If you enjoy looking at art that has humorous twists, then make this museum a stop on your itinerary. This is not a stodgy museum. Come prepared to laugh out loud at the cartoons, statuary and displays that all revolve around the same themes. There is a lot of adult material here, so children under the age of 12 or 14 may not appreciate the work here. The museum has been in a new building since late last year. You will enjoy your visit and come away laughing. Which is a great way to end a tour!
