Hi everyone- i'm going to New York in a few weeks- can anyone recommend any good places to go that are cheap? we plan to go to the main tourist attractions but i'm a bit worried that they'll cost loads of money!!!

A few of the museums and art gallaries have free days, usually Friday, but worth checking out - not the main ones though

A city pass is worth while if you are planning on seeing the main sights

Six Attractions, One Low Price

Guggenheim Museum - really interesting building, very modern exhibits - a bit different

American Museum of Natural History

Circle Line Sight Seeing Cruises - good way of seeing the skyline and the statue of liberty. (If you don't do this then at least go on the Staten Island Ferry - you have to see NY from the water)

Empire State Building - go when the weather is clear or all you will see is cloud, otherwise - great views

Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum

Museum of Modern Art - loads of Pop Art, imagine soup cans and Maralym Monroe

Citypass

Adults (18+) $53.00 ($105.50 value)
Youth (ages 6–17) $41.00 ($82.50 value)

Its not a tourist attraction, but I would definitely recommend a place called Century 21 which is pretty much opposite Ground Zero. I bought loads of designer gear in there at a fraction of the price. Tops that were marked at $500 down to $50 etc and it had all of the top designer names in there. Huge store. Central Park is gorgeous, but don't take any photo's of the ice rink, especially if there are any police around, cause one guy who was on the same trip as us was nearly arrested and had his film taken from him, cause they thought he was taking pictures of the kids!!
