One you're in the Big Apple, you think spending big is the thing in New York City. However, you can enjoy yourself in immersing holiday activities that are available for free. From attractions to art and theaters, tell that nega mind of yours to stop worrying about the moolah.
The Union Square Holiday Market. A trip to a European-style market will get you toasty and warm especially when you're with friends. There's no entrance fee upon going to the place, but since it's a market area, you will be tempted to buy holiday gifts and items. Not to mention, there are food booths around the vicinity.
Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park. You can get to gawk at the ice rink for free, but if you want to skate, you have to spend $20. But spending time with your most favorite people in the world is enough when you're there. Except when you're hungry. There are booths and restaurants you can visit and gulp their chunks.
The Prose Bowl. Share a piece of your writing and get critiqued by local writers and comedians. Registration is for free. If they like you to the end, you'll get a free drink. So, head over to Pete's Candy Store in Williamsburg. It ends on December 20. Will you be writing something about Christmas? "Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house," No, no, no. That's plagiarism.
The Kings of Karaoke. You really can't be celebrating Christmas without karaoke nights. In Alligator Lounge, Williamsburg, you can sing your hearts out (or cheer that friend who wants to sing) for free. It will start on the eve of Christmas up to the eve of New Year. If you buy a drink, you get a free pizza. So, come on and sing. It's not about singing well. It's about singing badly together.
