A major player in world events for centuries, New York has a rich and fascinating history. Extraordinary events that happened here have been portrayed in books and films from James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans to the documentary Woodstock. While everyone enjoys hearing a good story, it’s more fun and exciting to experience it for yourself. This presentation includes 5 great (and free) things to do and see while in the Big Apple. However, you are encouraged to dig deeper as there are far too many more great things to see in New York to list here.

2.  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.

3.  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.

Bridge, Lower Manhattan

4.  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.

5.  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.

6.  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.

7.  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.

8.  These places just barely
scratch the surface when
discussing amazing stuff to

when) before you arrive in
the city.
