My H went to a bachelor party on the Eastern Shore (in MD) and did a round of skeet shooting on a course that was set up like a golf course. He still talks about that.
Maybe there's something in the 'burbs up there like that if he's into that kind of thing. My H loved it and still talks about it and it was like 4 years ago.

Whenever I'm doing something like that and need inspiration, I stalk groupon, living social, and other deal sites. They might have things I wouldn't normally pick, but am willing to give a try at a discounted price. We always end up having fun. And, at the end of the day, if it wasn't the greatest idea, at least you didn't spend full price.

My H is a hermit, so he'll be no help. As far as NYC specific, there's Spin or Fat Cat for ping pong. Fat Cat has pool, ping pong, and shuffleboard and also chess, checkers, scrabble, and backgammon. A guy friend of mine had his birthday there one year. It's in the west village so you could probably do the high line before or after if you want. I don't know much guy stuff.
My husband says he needs to know more about your hubby to answer. Is he a sports guy? Beer guy? What does he do for fun?
He is a beer guy. He loves sports (even extreme ones) but not baseball. He loves movies and doing out of the ordinary things. He loves beer and whiskey and steak.
My brother did some sort of whiskey tasting in Chelsea Market that was apparently a lot of fun!

Are there any breweries or taprooms nearby? We are huge beer fans and love going and trying new ones. Brewery tours are fun. We have a thing here called a Peddle Pub. It's great if you have a group - might be regional though. www.pedalpub.com/
My H wants to go skydiving. His bday is coming up too, but I am not game so I said he has to find someone else to go with.

H says...fishing on a charter boat, casino (in Yonkers), rafting if there is somewhere not too far, a private beer tasting and brewery tour (maybe at Brooklyn Brewery)
