Touring the vibrant streets of New York<\/a> is an exhilarating experience, but it may not\u00a0take long before your credit cards start\u00a0feeling a little fatigued. Common wisdom suggests that with big cities come big prices, but with a little creative trip-planning, you can keep those dollars where they belong\u2014in \u00a0your wallet. Here’s how to do\u00a0New York on a budget.<\/p>\n

Hop a ferry to Lady Liberty\u00a0and Ellis Island<\/h3>\n

Climbing the Statue of Liberty to the pedestal or crown (which, incidentally, costs an extra $3) needs booking around three months in advance. But you can take a ferry tour\u2014complete with an audio guide\u2014to both Liberty Island and Ellis Island for $18 per person to explore the gateway through which millions of hopefuls first arrived in America. Visit the website to purchase ferry tickets in advance\u2014this will get you \u2018priority entry\u2019 and a chance to visit the home of NYC\u2019s iconic lady.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Brush up on American history at the Federal Hall National Memorial<\/h3>\n

This is the iconic site where George Washington\u2019s first inauguration took place, and where the Bill of Rights was passed. The original building is long gone, but you can take a free tour of the Greek Revival-style Federal Hall to view historical exhibits and the bible upon which\u00a0General Washington swore his oath of office when he became president.\u00a0And best of all, it’s completely free.<\/p>\n

Watch the world go by from the Red Steps<\/h3>\n

The Red Steps in Times Square lead up to the TKTS booth, which sells discounted Broadway and theater tickets and overlooks this so-busy-it’s-insane city center. Grab a hot dog or a cup of coffee, and plop down on the crimson staircase to watchas all that\u00a0bustle passes you by. It’s free, and it’s a perfect spot for some choice cityscape photos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Get a lesson in money at the Museum of American Finance<\/h3>\n

Since tickets to the Broadway phenom\u00a0Hamilton<\/em> are basically sold out forever, here’s another way to get to know the man behind the Mint: the Museum of American Finance. Here, you can learn all about Alexander Hamilton’s contributions to the American financial system, as well as what makes Wall Street Tick. Naturally, it’s located at 48 Wall Street, and admission is $8.00 for adults, $5.00 for students and seniors, and free to children under 6.<\/p>\n

Get a film lesson at the Museum of the Moving Image<\/h3>\n

Learn about movie magic at this quirky, film-centric museum via\u00a0choice film screenings and exhibits that immerse you in the creative process of film-making. \u00a0Check their website for special screening events (they’re often really cool, but also cost extra). Admission is $12 for adults, $9 for seniors and students, and\u00a0$6 for kids between the ages of 3 and 12. All movie buffs under 3 get in for free.<\/p>\n

\"Central<\/a><\/p>\n

Enjoy the great outdoors at Central Park<\/h3>\n

You cannot come to NYC without visiting this world-famous park! Admission is free, and there is\u00a0plenty to do while weaving between the towering trees and exploring new footpaths. Catch some Shakespeare in the Park at the outdoor amphitheater, or grab a map and head for the ponds, gardens, and bridges scattered throughout the park. The views of the city from here are incredible, and there’s nothing like enjoying some fresh air\u00a0in the heart of the city will do you some good.<\/p>\n

Go for a ride on\u00a0the Staten Island Ferry<\/h3>\n

Here’s another free one: the Staten Island ferry. But in order to tour the New York Harbor like a local, you should probably enjoy a bagel and coffee along the way. During this 5-mile journey, you’ll take in some serious skyline views and the beautiful Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, which connects Brooklyn and Staten Island. You’ll also pass right by the Statue of Liberty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Visit Chinatown for some cheap eats<\/h3>\n

Wandering into New York’s colorful Chinatown district feels like wandering into a whole different country. You’ll find some of the city’s best Chinese and Asian restaurants here, but you can also grab a hearty snack for a serious bargain (try the steamed roast pork bun at Mei Li Wah Bakery; it’s only $0.80). Or sample some sesame or black-bean ice cream at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. When you’ve had your fill, explore the jewelry and gift shops\u00a0along Canal Street.<\/p>\n

Shop til you drop at South Street Seaport<\/h3>\n

This popular shopping district\u00a0is right on the river, overlooking Brooklyn. It offers up artisan goods, clothing, sweets and gifts, meaning you can do some choice window-shopping for exactly zero dollars. The foodcourt here also has one of the best (free) views of the Brooklyn Bridge.\u00a0There’s a pirate ship here, too, in case you manage to get bored with the shopping and the views.<\/p>\n

Indulge in a burger at Blue Collar<\/h3>\n

What visit to New York would be complete without a burger? Blue Collar serves a crave-able, cost-effective handheld served on a soft potato bun. Wash down your\u00a0juicy, no-frills burger with a thick, hand-spun peanut butter or Nutella milkshake for a meal that’ll cost around $10, which is quite a bargain for the Big Apple. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to walk it off later.<\/p>\n
