What are some fun, inexpensive things to do in New York City? -

I am going to go to New York City next month to see the big Christmas tree and we just want to go. It s going to be my mom, my brother, my mom s friend, and me. I want to go to M M s World again. What are some other fun things to do?thanks.

there s Macy s if you want to go shopping, and many other stores, You can go ice skating, see the Empire State Building, If you don t mind taking a walk (not even that long) then walk to 42nd street times square, there s ESPN zOne there, the Wax Museum, Toys R us, There s a record store also. Ripley s Believe It Or Not, Restaurants, movie theaters, gift stores, and so much more, you will see while you re there and you can choose what you guys like.

There are a ton of cool things to do. These are not in any specific order and I am not listing them best to worst or worst to best. It is simply a list of fun things to do. And I don t know if you live near the city and you are just going there for the day of if you are going there and staying in a hotel. These are just things you should consider.1) Madame Tussauds2) The Museum of Natural History3) Empire State Building4) Metropolitan Museum of Art (I have never been there but everyone I know who has says its cool)5) Museum of Modern Art (I have never been there but everyone I know who has says its cool)6) Guggenheim Museum7) Times Square8) Brooklyn Bridge (Take the subway into Brooklyn and walk into Manhattan that is the best way to do it)9) South Street Seaport10) Empire State Building11) United Nations Building (I think there is a tour and it might be interesting to see you should look into it)12) Central ParkDon t go to the Statue of Liberty it is a complete waste of time.

Brittany,Take a look at our New York Events Calendar. It s full of things to do in New York. We maintain listings of all kinds of fun and interesting events going on in the New York area. You can sort it by category and by date. New events are being added all the time so make sure you check back before your trip.

one favorite thing for me is bartering liquor from the bums! Like, I get sandwich from Vito s, bring it to a bum in exchange for whatever alcohol they have in their hands. Just trying to do my part in keeping them off the hooch. Just don t, I know it s tempting, to drink the newly acquired hooch. You don t know where their mouth has been!!Ever notice you never see a bum drinking Gatorade? Just an observation.Rockefeller Plaza, Times Square, Central Park...all are interesting things to see. Try to ice skate at Rockefeller Plaza, you will love the experience!

Here are a couple of articles for you including how to use our transportation system, a complete run-down of Christmas in New York ideas and the days when museums are least expensive:http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��http://www.associatedcontent.com/article��

Central Park is free and beautiful. Walking the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan is free. Hanging out in Washington Square Park is free and makes for great people watching. Eating in an all night diner is cheap. Get thee out of Times Square and discover the REAL New York. Just being there is priceless!

walk around midtown in the early evening and look for paparazzi standing outside the ritz or the waldorf, or some of the top restaurants. chances are there s a celebrity in there if you see a paparazzi.
