There are tons of great things ordinary people like you and I can do in New York this summer without spending a dime.  They range in types of activities from concerts, theater, poetry readings, jazz, hikes, dancing, and more.

Just take a look at this amazing web site “Club freeTime.” It claims it is the only “source of free events, free things to do in New York City: your perfect guide to free Entertainment & free Culture in the City that never sleeps.”

The New York Times summed up the state of culture in New York City in its article about Club freeTime by stating that “New York is abuzz with so much culture that they’re giving it away.”

One small catch: membership is not free. But considering how many things you will find to do, you will probably save the cost of membership after just one activity.

Check it out and let me know where you went and how much fun you had.

Now, I recommend that you proceed with caution – don’t meet the given in any dark alleys – and make sure that Free really means free – but check this out

These are some treasures on offer for Free at Craigs List New York now:

  • 6.5 ft artificial Christmas Tree in Briarwood (just in time!)
  • 30 gallon fish tank with a red slide turtle in Staten Island (hi, is this turtle big enough for a meal?)
  • 27″ GE Color TV (East Village)
  • A cat (Canarsie)

Aside from that there are a lot of matresses and futons and some people claiming to have sports tickets.

Happy shopping this weekend!
