My absolute favorite thing that I did for free on my recent trip to NYC was walking the High Line through the West Side. I went early in the morning, it was freezing, but I dressed in layers and went to explore. I was alone, so I just put headphones in and admired the beautiful street art, and architecture, and once I got to the end (I started on the Hudson Yards end), I got lost in Greenwich Village, it was a very peaceful experience, I didn't want to leave. Highly recommended.

@DavidAnuszewski 5 лет назад

What is the high line?

@just_cade 5 лет назад

@@DavidAnuszewski It is what used to be an elevated rail line that runs from Hudson Yards south to the Meatpacking District. They have turned it into a walking path above the city, it has a lot of street art, great photo spots, gardens, and it lets you see all of the different architecture on the west side. I highly recommend it!

One of my favorite "free" things that I always tell visitors to do is to take the A/C to the High Street station and walk BACK into Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge. Sure, the subway isn't free, but if you're visiting you might have a Unlimited Ride MetroCard anyway.

@fionadaniels5222 2 года назад

I went to NY in 2019 and spent a total of about $1000 USD over my 3 week stay. I was staying with relatives and ate in for most meals so majority of my funds were spent on endless shopping, 2-3 dinner outings, my ride to NJ and DC and the Metro. I did so much and didnt spend as much. Went to so many public museums, Staten ferry ride, walking about Manhattan and central park (rather than taking Uber or the chariot rides), saw all the major monuments in DC, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, Times Square, State Building Tour, Kayaking, High Line walk, and so much more. Heading back this December with all these new ideas and a whole new itinerary in place! You dont need alot of money for a great time!
