Why You Should Go: You're one of many Americans still smarting from the Big Apple's failed bid for the 2012 Olympics. And while the action might be across the pond in London, you can still go for gold thanks to iAdventure.com's first ever Olympic Scavenger Hunt on July 29th.

What You’ll Love It: You’ll join (or make your own) team for some Olympic-style competition, running through the streets to decipher clues in foreign languages, answer challenging trivia questions and earn points.  Each team will represent a different Olympic-competing country as you country-hop from Little Italy to Chinatown to Little India. 

What You Should Know: To start your gold medal quest, meet at Little Town for registration from 12-2pm (where you'll get two free drinks). Then you’re off, making stops along the way at participating bars that boast Olympic-themed and international drink specials from the different regions and countries they represent. And since every Olympic event ends with a closing ceremony, the fun continues post-hunt with an after party at SideBar from 5-8pm. Let’s raise a torch to that!
