WHAT’S NEW IN 2014
I’m really excited for this, the third edition of this book. Every year it just gets better, and for 2014, I’ve expanded the descriptions, added more great photos, and increased the number of entries, including over 70 places to get free food and drink.
This really is the best available guide on what’s free – or how to get it for free -- in the best City in the world.
When I first moved to New York, I was so broke I couldn’t pay attention. I had no choice but to seek out all that’s great and free in the big city. It was all right there in front of me, and I wasn’t going to let it pass me by just because I couldn’t pay for it!
I found that there are tons and tons and TONS of great things to do in New York that won’t cost you a dime. With this book, you have access to the best of what’s free, compiled into one reference.
You could be in the know, doing 100% FREE, yet fun and rewarding, activities such as:
- Free Kayak Rentals on the Hudson River
- Free performances including jazz, rock shows, plays, spoken word, beat boxing, dance comedy, word beat, blues, experimental artists, the list goes on!
- List of the best free museums and art galleries from the Village to Harlem
- Free T.V. show tapings
- Free movies, festivals, and more entertainment
- Free food and drinks
- Free kids activities
For example, many know about Shakespeare In The Park, but have you ever heard about the hilarious (and free) Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre? It’s a free comedy show with many Saturday Night Live alum.
WHY THIS E-GUIDEBOOK IS DIFFERENT
This book is not about discount travel. It’s about FREE travel.
- It only includes free activities, events, locations & attractions. It tells you how to get in to many paid attractions and events for free.
- It’s exclusively formatted for the Kindle and Kindle App

WHAT YOU’LL FIND INSIDE
Each entry has a well-researched description, contact information (email, phone, website), and links to contextual information. Color photos too!
It works great with the Kindle App for your smartphone, so you can get directions from Google.
There’s an interactive map, showing you all the free activities and an appendix with free trip planning tools, apps, etc.
