What's free in NYC?

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!

Check out the fabulous house lights Dyker Heights. These people go all out and the competition makes them go crazier each year.

Stroll or drive between 11th Avenue to 13th Avenue and from 83rd to 86th Street. Be warned: parking is near impossible and the traffic is really slow. If you can, find a parking spot a bit away from the hubbub and walk to the lights. Subways: D/M trains to 18th Ave; R train to 86th Street.
