Quirky Alternatives

Exhausted? Think small(er). Spend $35 on a ticket to Gulliver’s Travels, one of New York’s newest attractions.

The size of a football field, this place represents the world’s landmarks in miniature. You can cover the globe in an hour or so and New York City in a few metres. All without having to lug shopping bags. Or without someone shoving a scent sample under your nose at every turn. But (given the shorter distances), you can do this wearing your brand-new, high-heeled Manolo Blahniks. •
