Michael Savage5 Free Things to do in New York City

New York City has so much to do and so much to see, it can be overwhelming for even the returning visitor.

It is important to have an idea of what you want to see before you arrive in the city.

The Michael Savage New York webpage is an excellent resource and a fun place to start planning.

Seeing the City

Stop by City Hall and take in the rich history associated with it. However, if you’d like a tour, remember to reserve your spot in advance as it can get busy.

City Hall Park, facing the Brooklyn Bridge, Lower Manhattan

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is another very interesting place to visit in Manhattan.

With over 10,000 tons of gold reserves stashed 80ft below ground, you can’t help but be intrigued by this landmark.

However, just like City Hall, it’s a busy place (and of course tight on security) so be sure to reserve a tour well ahead of time.

The Green-Wood Cemetery

Why visit a cemetery? Once the nation’s most visited

tourist attraction outside Niagara Falls, the gorgeous Green-Wood Cemetery was founded in 1838. It’s leafy and lovely, and features Brooklyn’s highest point at Battle Hill, a site from the Revolutionary War.

Not to mention a 7ft statue of the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva. 

How ‘Bout Brooklyn?

The Staten Island Ferry The Staten Island Ferry for commuters, cutting across the

New York Harbor, is absolutely free and has long held the distinction as the single greatest free attraction on the Eastern Seaboard. Around since 1905, the ferry carries 19 million across the harbor each year. It never gets old. It even provides the best free view of the Statue of Liberty that you can get from the water.

Need any more be said? It doesn’t take brilliant travel minds to tell you that a park is

free to visit – most parks are. But most parks aren’t Central Park, Manhattan’s famed claim to thinking ahead (even if it was designed in the 1860s to boost real-estate value uptown). This park is a staple of New York’s abundant history and a must-see for any visitor.

These places just barely scratch the surface when discussing amazing stuff to do and see while visiting the Big Apple.

Be sure to have a good idea of what you want to do (and when) before you arrive in the city.
