5 FREE things to do in New York City..

Ok.. admittably, I'm a spur of the moment kind of girl. For instance, on my 35th birthday, my best friend and I flew to New York City to spend a whirlwind 29hours shopping and enjoying the sights. Of course, we were go, go, go the whole time.. but I thought you might enjoy a few tips on 5 free things in New York if you have the time...
Free Culture - many New York cultural institutions allow free entry on Fridays. The list includes the Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and the Museum of Moving Image. Even the Guggenheim offers a pay-as-you wish on Fridays...
Free Food - numerous local bars in Brooklyn will offer free food, with every purchased beer. For instance, free pizza at Alligator Lounge and Capone. At Trash Bar.. free tatertots, and try the bagels and hot dogs at the Lost and Found just to name a few.
Free Booze - try the MyOpenBar in SoHo, Brooklyn and the Lower East Side. Deals are always posted.. and there are usually free "well" spirits available for a specific period of time..
Free Salsa - SOB is one of the most prestigious Latin & Hip Hop clubs in SoHo. Free salsa classes each Friday starting from 7pm... (Men pay $10.. but hey, us women are free!)
Free Music Documentaries - the "hippest" neighbourhood in New York is the Lower East Side. St. Jerome is a lowly lit drinking hideaway that offers free documentaries every Saturday, from 4-7pm.
Now... if it were me.. I'd take advantage of these great savings.. and make sure buy the largest, creamiest piece of New York cheesecake I could find ('cause it's not cheap!!) and eat it while enjoying the free sights and sounds of Times Square.
