The best things in the world are getting free, especially if it concerns travel: an unforgettable spirit of the wanderings for any money can not be bought. Here Christina Yatkovskaya considers the same way, so there was a list of 14 best entertainment, which can be found in New York free, that is, for nothing. And PICS.ru shares with you! We do not feel sorry for readers!
Ferry to statue of freedom
The paradoxical example of American communism is a free ferry to freedom. Staten Island Ferry walks around the clock every half hour, so you won't lose. The ship does not swim to the statue close, but passes by, but you will have plenty of time to see it, a beltenious, green. Immediately go upstairs and take the right side - the most interesting there. On the way back, do not deny yourself the pleasure to admire the approaching Manhattan from the bottom level (where tourists do not go, and simple New Yorks who drive to Stiten Island and back - not entertaining, but stern life).
The Brooklyn Bridge
Go through the Brooklyn Bridge - some kind of unexpected super-heartily. Right here, and you feel like a young God. So wrote the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky: as a stupid artist in Madonna Museyovy his eyes, in love and sharp, so I, with the scenery, in the stars of Usisyan, the look at the New York Brooklyn Bridge.
New York from Height: Bar 54
By the way about the stars. To look at the panorama of New York with a dug-missing height and feel like a spider person, it is absolutely not necessary to buy tickets and stand in the queues. And it is not necessary to be the hotel's hotel to go to the bar. Come to the hotel, say that go to the bar 54, you give you a plastic card, climb on the elevator (shares of a second), then the passport will be asked at the entrance to the bar. And that's all, here he is a balcony. Here he is New York. This is really a very strong feeling when you have under your feet, despite the fact that this kind one hundred times has already been in different films; When you're standing and look - I do not know, you need to feel. And you can even buy anything there (and there are bowls on the tables with free snacks).
Roosevelt Island
On Roosevelt Island, you must go, of course, for the sake of the cable car. This is not quite free entertainment, it will cost you one trip on the subway (and you need to pay the usual passing Metro Card), well, it's not to take advantage of the opportunity. So, let it be almost free entertainment: D Roosevelt - so far not touched by gentrification of a green land whirlpool, which jumps the diverse proteins. It is very green and calm. From infrastructure - there is one Starbax. Something is built. Children playing. On the upper tip of the island stands the lighthouse, it is possible to picnify it or just falling and admirement. In principle, the whole island will not be much difficulty bypassing around.
Bookstores
Bookstores are what I liked in New York most. Especially the BUKINIS-Giant Strand ('18 miles of books' since 1927), in which the young Patti Smith traded, smelling the library, endless, Brodie and read, and somehow from the first seconds, as he entered, the bookmoth will understand that he got into Best of worlds. Network Barnes & Noble, especially the store on Union Square. Moscow booksellers need to be arranged a press tour in Barnes and Nobl, just see how you can organize a space in which love for books and people are expressed in each shelf, stairs, bookmark, not to mention the book. And, of course, small separate book benches, which can be gained, but this is the case, the case you know.
Ocean
New York is not the place where the beach holiday is going. And in vain, because there is an ocean. Sit on the subway and come to Brighton Beach or Horse Island - and please, the Atlantic in front of you, sand, seagulls, in the Russian part - pigeons.
Brighton Beach and Koni Island
We want to say about these places separately. Brighton is a stunning anthropological experience. Brighton as the idea of Russia, which we did not lose. Plates on lampposts Charts: Welcome to Brighton Beachlittle Russia by The Sea
The main population of Brighton - Granny and grandfather, to which young people sometimes come to visit. Brighton is Russians (with Odessa talking) Lazy conversations, Russian signs, Russian products. On the radio and from the cars passing by the cars - Hop Hay Lalalya, something like Natasha Koroleva or something like that. The feeling of sir does not leave. Nomenclature abundance, satiety, peace. But besides jokes: here, they say, the best fruits and vegetables in New York (and besides cheaper than in Manhattan), so many come here to roame fresh, not to mention the traditional Russian spreads like sauerkraut, Julienov, salads and Patty. Wooden Boardwalk, a local promenade begins on Brighton Beach, along the ocean stretching to Horse Island, and here it takes a walk - a cute deal, watching the restaurants "Tatiana" and "Wave", as the coastal coastal songs under the guitar and grandmothers are replaced by Gradually arrived in honor of Sundays on the attractions by American families. Koni Island is an idea of an eternal holiday. Hot dog was invented here, here they are fishing from the pier, here they are bronze under the sun on a wooden sun bed, here they are glazed on the attractions, inhale the healing ocean air, becoming if there is a non-weighted sea wolf, then at least with a whisk, who has found someone froned ice cream -horn.
Gallery in Chelsea
This item for lovers of contemporary art. Chelsea - Gallery Madness, come in any door, and it will be a gallery, you can get around a dozen in an hour, considering everything carefully. Gallery not only on the first floors of houses, but also above, feel free to use elevators. From 14 to 29 streets are all galleries.
High Line Park
We continue the conversation about the Chelsea area. About the Central Park everyone knows what to say here, he, of course, is also free, immense a giant, who has gained all the New York greens and runners. You are most likely in it, and so go (and you will not regret it). But I want to note here separately High Line - a long narrow park above the ground, built on the railway tracks, looking completely futuristically, and still under construction, stretching farther and farther. The case when it is absolutely nervous to go through the park and in the dark time of the day, thanks to the backlight full length. People look at the aboveground park, people look just breathtaking, immediately want to be in their place (leaving for this desire!).Free Public Sitting.
All New Yorks hate Times Square (let's talk more about this in more detail in the next series - about New Yorks), but we have imagined with you, we are not groaned to guess her a little. A little more American communism, like a free ship to freedom - 'Free public seed' on the red steps in the midst of the crossroads of the intersections, time of time - Times Square. On a rainy day, the seat turns into standing, but if any weather is a favorite place for Self all visits. Come when it is dark, find a free step, take off a minute from the glowing screen and look around, look away in the distance, enchant, realize: here it is, here he is, New York, and here you are in it all.
Williamsburg and Bushvik
Soviet pensioners after death fall to Brighton, and good hipsters - to Williamsburg. Williamsburg is already the top of the junction. Bohemian Bushvik is still selected to her. Williamsburg is clean, multicolored, the whole consists of graffiti, coffee shops, bars, shops, young strolling fashionists, girls, dogs, in general, this is a solid hipster pastoral and paradise. It smells of grass. There is a chic vinyl hangar here (is it worth baning them in a guide to free places?) And the local brewery, which is preparing a breathtaking Brooklyn lager for which you can give the soul. With the Williamsburg coast, a beautiful view of Manhattan opens. But when you get to Bushvik, you immediately understand that Williamsburg is for children and weaknikov. All power, power and madness - in Bushavik.
NYU - New York University
In New York University, the University is cool, if there is a familiar student or a graduate who spends and tells, but in principle you can go through and just like that. Here you are waiting for you, of course, a huge number of locked doors, but at the same time a lot of spontaneous entertainment seems to be a ride along the corridor on a chair, well, you never know what else.
Jazz
Cleopatra's Needle2485 Broadway (between 92 and 93 Street) Here play jazz for free, and free water free.
Little Lebovsky
Magaz in the Charming University district Greenwich Village. You can give a tribute to the Koenam's brothers and chat with the seller, who in itself is a poured dude. Since this is a guide to the best free entertainment - buy something optional.

Bonus
Worst Free Entertainment New York "This is Moma (Museum of Contemporary Art) free Friday. Don't get me wrong: Moma is perhaps the best museum in my life (and I did a lot of them). But in the dilemma "Wallet or Life" I still recommend (as in the film "On the needle"), choose life and give the blood twenty bucks on any other day. You will avoid a multi-hour queue - first, and you can see something - secondly. Nenjoy!
