Cultural experiences shouldn’t cost you the $15 entrance fee! New York City has an overwhelming amount of free or inexpensive events that happen every day. Make your free time free by knowing how to find free events throughout the city.
There are several resources available for finding free events in the city. These websites provide a comprehensive list of free or inexpensive events by date or subject. I recommend looking at multiple websites because there are so many events some websites do not list them all.
Here is a list of some of the resources I use:
Time Out New York
Go NYC
New York Magazine
Living Free NYC
Club Free Time NYC
Sifting through all of the possible events can be daunting. There are free pickup games in the park, free lectures, movies, concerts, and art shows. It is helpful to know what you are interested in and passionate about so you can pick which type of events you want to search.
The best part about going to these events is that you are going to be around people who are just as interested in doing these things as you are. If you go to a free Stargazing Event on the Highline, you will meet other people who like stargazing.
To make sure you don’t miss out on great opportunities create a calendar (I use google calendar). I know it may seem weird organizing your free time but I have been mad at myself many times because I wasn’t aware of amazing events like Free Wanda Jackson concert in Central Park.
I will be posting some of my favorite free events around the city in the posts to follow! So keep looking at Campus Clipper Blog to find out more tips on living in the city.
With all the running around the city you will be doing with free things you may need a gym membership to stay in shape!
