The Big Apple has big prices, but iconic experiences can be free. Ride the Staten Island Ferry for fantastic, free views of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline. Spend hours exploring Central Park, walking the High Line, or crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. Take advantage of free museum admission days/evenings (check schedules for MoMA, Whitney, etc.). Eat affordably and deliciously with classic dollar-slice pizza joints, diverse food carts, or exploring ethnic enclaves like Chinatown or Jackson Heights for authentic cheap eats.
