What’s fun to do in NYC that isn’t centered around drinking?

I moved to the city a few months ago. Feel like every time I try to find something fun to do in the city, especially on weekend nights, it’s always centered around alcohol. Happy hour networking events, rooftop movie screenings with “signature cocktails,” wine and cheese painting classes, brewery tours… even my local pottery studio does “sip and sculpt” nights.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m not against drinking, I’m just looking for more substance in my social life (and my liver could use a break too). I’ve checked out the usual tourist spots and honestly I’m not big on the whole museum scene – been there, done that.

If anyone has suggestions on cool things to do, drop them here (Also, not really into museums—just not my vibe.)!

Edit: thanks for a lot of the ideas! to clarify, the question isn’t really “what is there to do?” and more “what activity is there to do that would be good for a group of people to join me on so that our hangout is not at a bar? That said I did hear a lot of good suggestions for a bunch of activities and seems like there’s a great way to bring friends along with Outing. Going to start making a list of hobbies and activities I like
