Top 25 Free Things to Do in New York City
Central Park spans 843 acres and is beautifully designed. It’s more than just an escape from the city; it’s like a separate world. Watch numerous performers, visit the Imagine mosaic dedicated to John Lennon, see architecture, picnic in one of the many green spaces, or visit areas seen in movies (like Home Alone II, Enchanted, or When Harry Met Sally).
Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this brewery brews craft beer and distributes in 25 states and 20 countries. Take a free tour on Sundays!
Built as part of reconstruction of the Ground Zero area after 9/11, this is open to the public as a transportation hub, but you can also just go inside and marvel at the beautiful design.
During the summer there are options for free tickets for events. Check the schedule before you go!
