In this recession, you need free things more than ever! FreeinNYC.net is dedicated to get you out of that depression, out of your parents’s house, or in better shape to buy that dress (or engagement ring, implants, retirement home, mail-order bride, pet tiger, or what it is that you do in private). If free is just too charitable for you, there are a ton of cheap, ridiculously low, promotionally almost-free, and miserly great events, brunches, hair cuts, and much more. We can get you through these hard times in style.
New York City is the greatest city in the world! That is why rent is high, dinner is expensive, and the streets are so crowded. The Tri-State area has one of the highest cost of living in the US. We understand that lately your salary (ours too) just isn’t cutting it.
Here at FreeinNYC.net we sympathize how expensive New York City really is! That is why this website is committed to spreading the word on all things free and really, very, extremely cheap in this great city. You can spend no money and still have fun, learn new things, and decorate your apartment. Save your money so you can invest in your retirement or give to a charity.
The sheer number of free activities sponsored by the city government and friendly organizations around town is truly amazing. It is more evidence that this city is fantastic. Enjoy and be well!

The other day, I went to Aveda over on 5th Ave and was thoroughly pleased. I picked up free Aveda Shampoo and Conditioner with a coupon from PulseJFK. While sticking in my purse, I signed up for a free blow-out on Wednesday (this is offered every Wednesday from 12-3pm). On the way out I poured myself a nice hot cup of free Aveda tea, which is delicious and has a sweet hint of fennel. It was great, thanks Aveda!

Now fans can see where in New York City the scenes of Ugly Americans take place using the new Interactive Map, complete with video clips and character icons created by Comedy Central.
Ugly Americans is a new horror comedy about New York City with horrifying beasts, science-fiction freaks, and fantasy faeries. This animated horror-comedy series follows one Mark Lilly, social worker at the Department of Integration, as he helps new citizens both human and “other” adapt to hectic life in the Big Apple. There are easier tasks than weaning vampires off of blood, socializing land-whales, and housebreaking werewolves, but Mark is up to the challenge. Between his stressful job, a zombie roommate, and a demon ex-girlfriend, Mark’s lucky if he can sneak in a few minutes of sleep. But who can sleep when there’s a drop-dead gorgeous Mermaid sitting at the bar?

Horse Trade Theater Group is a self-sustaining theater development group; with a focus on new work, it has produced a massive quantity of stimulating downtown theater. Horse Trade’s Resident Artist Program offers a home to a select group of Independent Theater artists, pooling together a great deal of talent and energy. It is also the home of FRIGID New York’s the first and only festival of its kind in New York City.
They regularly provide free and Pay-What-You-Will storytelling, music, and comedy events.
The Villager says, “If it’s fun, funky, artsy, absurd and original, chances are it’s probably from the folks at Horse Trade Theater Group”.
