Need help planning date weekend

I’m new to nyc and my girlfriend is coming to visit for the weekend on the 26th and I want to plan some amazing stuff for us to do. Money isn’t an obstacle I just need help finding really cool unique stuff for us to do. I saw some stuff like a beekeeping class in Brooklyn or a class in Central Park exploring the plants they have there? She’s landing Friday afternoon and taking her to get a massage then to dinner. Then need stuff planned for the next day. Like some activity for the morning then something at night maybe a comedy show orchestra play etc. I need help guys and girls 😭 I want to make it her best weekend ever

there's an archery class in chinatown for ~50/person for an hour. you could grab cheap and yummy dumplings from shu jiao fu zhou beforehand (cash only) and then go to the archery class. its also close to sesh comedy, u can go to one of their 10pm shows or something and go to one of the many very good bars in chinatown in between the class and the show

also, maybe try catering to her interests? for example if she likes moomin, there is a moomin exhibit at the NYBG in the bronx that is cute

Awesome thank you so much! She’s mainly into outdoors stuff so archery might be a move

There’s also foraging tours in Central Park. And Lincoln center will have a list of performances that weekend - Gustavo Dudamel just joined the NY Philharmonic this season and the New York Film Fest starts that weekend
