But there are so many free attractions and reasonably-priced eating and drinking alternatives, that doing your advanced research here on NYC.com will help you save a bundle!

Some museums such as the Metropolitan and the Museum of Natural History have "suggested admission" prices, meaning you can pay exactly what you want. Half-price or reduced-price theater tickets are available via TKTS booths.
