Forgotten NY. Free Things to Do in NYC for the Holidays. A surprising number of events are free and open to the public all year in New York. There are free musical performances, readings by authors, kids' events, art galleries and even free theater performances and movies. A little digging reveals a whole zero-cost world of excellent entertainment and culture beyond the big-ticket items like Broadway shows and pop-star performances.
Some museums in New York are free all the time, including the American Numismatic Society, the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Museum of American Folk Art and the National Museum of the American Indian. Others--such as the world-renowned American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum of Art--have "suggested contribution" policies.
If you're really hard up, you don't have to contribute to get in, even though small contributions help support the museums in a big way. Still other museums have free days or hours. Great Day Trips from New York | DayZipping. The favourite neighbourhood haunts of five clued-up New York locals | Travel | The Observer. Billy Noble 25, lives on the Upper East Side and teaches 12- to 14-year-olds in the Bronx I guess you could safely say I am not your typical New Yorker.
Due to the fairly minimal pay I receive as a teacher and the high cost of living in the city, I don't eat out much and take a lunchbox to work. I'm also in the Air Force Reserve, which means getting up around 4am on weekends, so I'm not much of a cocktails guy either. But that doesn't mean I don't go out. On a free day I head down to the River Walk, which runs along the East River - with a book.
There's a great Indian vegetarian restaurant called Chennai (1st Ave, between East 86th and 87th), and some good spots to grab a cheap pint near where I live. When I do "go out" properly, I usually head to Alphabet City in the East Village. Annabelle's verdict: The small Neue Galerie was new to me; it has a great collection of works by Klee, Klimt, Schiele and Kandinsky, and you hear New York voices rather than Japanese and British.

New York On Our Radar Tea & Sympathy Tea & Sympathy In The West Village by Kari Dimmick In a city that's just as well known for its indelicate disdain as it is for its incomparable allure, there lies a little morsel of sweet sympathy tucked between the bites of bangers and mash.

Tea Lounge Sylvia's. Features - An Englishwoman in New York. It's been ten years since my last visit, and New York suddenly has so much more to offer. At the age of 11 I cried--it didn't quite feel as exciting as the movies and I had picked up head lice on the plane. But I was lucky enough to have a few amazing experiences, including dinner at the Twin Towers. I'll never forget gazing up the side of it and just being so overwhelmed by the view. Now as I travel on the subway for the first time by myself, my biggest fear is being called out as just another tourist getting in the way of the commute for the real New Yorkers.
Not that I am anything other than just another tourist. But I still have this strong desire to camouflage myself within this “concrete jungle.” As I sheepishly retrieve my guidebook from my rucksack to find the appropriate map as my stop approaches, the feeling intensifies. But after a stressful morning, I took refuge in Central Park. The only non-tourists were the joggers, who were in steady supply. Features - Free NYC. The amount of free music in New York’s summer months is inspiring…and overwhelming. So, here’s a list. Enjoy.

New York is packed with fun things to do, and you can't go wrong with the classic attractions: rowing boats in Central Park, kissing at the top of the Empire State Building, eating oysters at Grand Central. But I'd love to share a few twists on those adventures that we've discovered over the years... 1. Sunset sail. Feel the crisp wind on your face while sailing down the Hudson River on a classic 1890's style Schooner. The captain passes out wool blankets and serves wine, beer and Champagne, and you can bring snacks, if you'd like. (Think: Two lobster rolls from the nearby Chelsea Market.) Alex and I have been on these two-hour sails many times; they are always exhilarating, giddy and romantic. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Bonus tip! What do you love doing in New York?
