In reply to Ryan Biddulph. I know right? It's "just" a park, yet, it's endlessly interesting for a walk (I don't run!). The only other park I've ever seen that rivals it is Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

What a fab list Rachel. Walking or running in Central Park is my favorite thing to do in the city. Absolutely free, fun and relaxing. No park like it on earth.

In reply to kate. All excellent suggestions, of course! Though some of them, such as attending a baseball game, might be pricey, as would the zoo. You're right, though: there is plenty to see outside of Manhattan and far too much focus on Times Square! Thanks!

Hi there …I was born and raised in New York City, even though I lived in other places. I would definitely recommend that tourists check out the Outer Boroughs. Take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry, which is free. See the real Little Italy on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. See the Queens Zoo as well as attending a game at either Yankees Stadium or Citi Field. See the other Chinatown in Flushing. Have some Asian, Indian or Latin American food in Jackson Heights. Visit Grants Tomb or Alexander Hamilton ‘ s home Hamilton Grange in Harlem. There is more to New York City than times square. NYC is worth exploring and visiting but way too expensive to live in..Thanks for posting this and Best Regards!

Great tips. I’ve not been to New York City and have heard about it being expensive. It looks like there is a lot to take in without breaking the bank.

We just had a great weekend with time for walking, museums, walking, theater, walking, and a couple meetings. Good tips for NYC on a budget.

What great suggestions about freebies in very expensive NYC! There were a few museums you mentioned that I didn’t realize are free.

In reply to RobRob @TravelLatte(.net). Check the times first: the free days are not on weekends!
