Activities for a 17-year-old girl this weekend in New York City? Extra points for music venues that are all-ages, but all suggestions are good.

Does she like theatre? City Center is doing a TERRIFIC production of Damn Yankees.

It's not the venues that are all-ages, but the shows themselves. Even venues with bars will have all-ages shows. Just grab a Village Voice, check out the show listings and call the venue in advance to find out if it is AA/18+/21+.

If you want names: Knitting Factory, Irving Plaza, Webster Hall, Bowery Ballroom, Cake Shop, Living Room, Mercury Lounge (those last two I doubt play AA shows...)

Friday night there's a free No Age show at South Street Seaport. I love that venue since as a resident it gives me an excuse to see a beautiful yet touristy part of town.

If I wasn't going to Philly, I'd 100% be at the Highline Saturday night for the Fuck Yeah Fest Tour 2008. All Ages show, but it's $17. Matt & Kim and Team Robespierre are both awesome.

Sunday afternoon, you have the McCarren Pool show with the Breeders and Matt & Kim. It's free and open to all.

The yard is pretty awesome. Has an all ages rock show, daytime, this weekend.

Nearly everything I listed in this post about NYC activities this weekend is all ages.

Go to ohmyrockness.com, things that are 16+ or all ages are clearly marked.
