I was watching Neil Patrick Harris on Conan O’Brien recently, and he mentioned a scavenger hunt/mystery tour that he did called Accomplice New York.  He loved it so much that he helped the founders open a Los Angeles chapter called Accomplice Hollywood.  If Barney thought this tour was legendary enough to invest in it himself, I knew it would be awesome and I had to check it out.

This past Sunday, my friends and I took Mrs. Butterfly on the downtown tour (there is also one in the Village) for her 30th birthday.  The day before the tour, you get a cryptic call telling you a place to meet.  Twists and unexpected turns ensue over the next three hours.  The New York Times says that Accomplice New York is like being in the movie ‘The Game’” — I couldn’t have said it better myself!  I wish I could share pictures and tell you more about it, but trust me — the less you know the better.

All of us had the most amazing time, and I can’t recommend Accomplice highly enough as an alternative to the traditional bridal shower or bachelorette party, because it’s being in a group that makes this so much more fun.  I hear that they’re opening a chapter in San Francisco on August 1st, and perhaps one in Austin as well!  Whenever I discover something I love, I try to spread the word as far and wide as I can, and this is something that I know you will love.

Wear comfortable shoes, be prepared to walk a lot, and get ready for the time of your life.
