Top things to do in New York City on a budget
During our walking tours of New York City, many comment at the expense of visiting. True, New York can be expensive, therefore, I will provide you with a few ideas to limit your costs.
The Staten Island Ferry, is a free way of seeing New York from the water. Providing wonderful views of the New York skyline, the S.I. Ferry leaves every half an hour from 1 South Street in lower Manhattan.
Walking in Central Park does not cost money and you can literally spend hours sightseeing. The Park is filled with bridges, statues, lakes, trees and several activities for children.
Grand Central Terminal offers a free tour on both Wednesday & Friday at 12:30pm. Built in 1917, the station is as impressive today as when it first opened its doors. You can browse the shops, have a drink or a meal at one of the several restaurants or simply take in the grandeur of the station.
On select Saturdays, the Village Alliance offers free guided strolls of St. Marks Place/8th Street. You’ll see Jackson Pollock’s former abode and stand on the spot where Abe Lincoln declared, “Right makes might.”
Just a few suggestion when visiting New York City. More to following in coming blogs.
