Cheapest Weekend Ever

Looking to take my Darling hubby to New York for a SHORT weekend. We%26#39;re going to take a bus up Friday night and spend the day friday sight seeing...

Here%26#39;s the problem.... we are DIRT poor. (we%26#39;re both teachers and get paid squat)

What are some fun things we can do that are FREE or less than $20 each?!

Thanks!

Cheapest Weekend Ever

MOMA is free on Friday evenings

The MET is ';suggested donations'; - you can give whatever you feel you want to - $5 for both you? That%26#39;s OK. (I never suggest this, but because you are teachers making squat I make an exception ;-) The Balcony Bar on the second floor has classical music on Friday and Saturdays from 5:00-7:00PM - you can stand apart from the bar and listen fro free!

There are free walking tours - use the search box above to learn more about them

The Staten Island Ferry is free - great way to see the Statue of Liberty

Walk around Central Park - beautiful and FREE

Cheapest Weekend Ever

1. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge, exquisitely beautiful and FREE.

2. Take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. You%26#39;ll go right by Lady Liberty so have your camera ready. It%26#39;s FREE.

3. Enjoy a world class museum. On Friday afternoons the Museum of Modern Art is FREE. At all times the Metropolitan Museum of Art and American Museum of Natural History are suggested donation only. You may pay one penny apiece and that%26#39;s fine. Just hand the cashier whatever amount you like and say ';This is for two admissions.';

4. Take a stroll through Central Park...dare I say... it%26#39;s FREE.

By now you are hungry so:

5. Enjoy two hot dogs and a papaya drink at Grey%26#39;s Papaya. Okay, it%26#39;s not free, it costs $2.75. Not bad though.

Take the Staten Island ferry roundtrip (free) to see the Statue of Liberty

Central Park--free

Go see Grand Central Station there%26#39;s a free tour on Fri.%26#39;s at 12:30 Info here

Don%26#39;t forget Cloister, it%26#39;s part of the Met. If you go the Met, save the ';button'; use it the same day for Cloister.

The Public Library is a handsome building, and the tour is free. It is free to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, and Brooklyn Heights is a great neighborhood to stroll.The great churches are all free -- go visit St. Patrick%26#39;s, or St. Thomas Episcopal at Fifth and 53rd, or the wonderful St. Vincent Ferrer on Lexington at 68th, or St. John the Divine, or see all the amazing Tiffany windows in St. Michael%26#39;s Episcopal Church at 225 West 99th Street.
