Okay so in the event you don't have a car, or don't have the time to drive out of town, you may feel trapped and helpless in your mission to escape the craziness of the city. Never fear! The answer is surprisingly simple: baseball. Nowhere else, at least that I can think of, is it acceptable - albeit practically expected - that the main spectacle will be secondary to socializing, drinking, eating, and yes, even napping (just be forewarned that you do so at the risk of being nailed by a foul ball or, equally possible, a loose bat). The best part is that it lasts for HOURS, and provides a pleasantly unexpected outlet for breaking up the banalities of the weekly schedule. Even the players themselves partake in the festivities if you watch the dugout closely enough! Overall, nothing beats the ambiance of a baseball stadium - and this is coming from a girl who isn't an avid baseball fan.
Most stadiums that I've visited have been within short distance or some form of public transportation. If, however, sports are not your thing, then I highly recommend passing the day lost in your own internal dialogue at a museum (the only place where you can go without talking for hours, and no one will inquire if something is wrong).

| Baseball is a great time for catching up or ,contrastingly, simply relaxing |

| Bonus: you might even get to witness some unusual sights |
