My husband and I seem to watch a lot of TV shows that are filmed in New York city and without fail … every time my husband sees a shot of the city he starts talking about visiting New York.
He’s been there once before, back when he was in college they had a weekend trip to New York and he loved it. However, I’ve never been there – although I’ve always wanted to go.
So … we decided that maybe next spring, if we’re doing a little better on the financial front, maybe we’ll go to New York for a long weekend or perhaps even a week. I’ll do some searches for new york cheap hotel and hopefully find other inexpensive things that we can do while we’re there.
For those of you who live in or near New York or who’ve been there a few times – do you have any suggestions as to places we should see or things we should do while we are there? Keeping in mind of course that we probably won’t have much money to spend so free or cheap ideas are best.
I think I saw that lady at Curves
I have been to New York – so I can only say “Go go go”
I’ve never done it but I see people on Craigslist who wish to trade homes for vacation times. Also, find out what dates hotel rates change from one season to another. Sometimes just changing your stay by a few days can markedly change your cost.Hope you get to go! I’ve never been there either, but always wanted to go.
yes, in the spring the NY is looking more beautiful and romantic as ever.
Want somehting to do that is fantastic but free? Easy. Go down and catch the Statten Island Ferry. You get great views of the Status of Liberty and Ellis Island and much more. Stay on the ferry for the return ride and enjoy the views on New York as you approach it again.
Yes, it is free to do!
Then, there is strolling in Central Park, visiting Times Square, walking the Brooklyn Bridge etc.
Enjoy!

I’ve never been to New York before. I know that its a fast city and I don’t know if a country girl like me could really hang. I would be very interested in knowing some of the places your choose to visit.
Me, I’ve never been to New York but if given a chance the I’d say go..
