[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with FIT and NY public library. Both are free and interesting.

If you have ice skates, you can book a free session at Bryant Park rink (at least you could last year.) Bryant park is adjacent to the NY public library.

The Roosevelt Island Tramway is only the cost of a subway fare but is a neat experience.

My family of teens enjoys going to ethnic grocery stores in NYC. It’s interesting and you may score some cool and cheap snacks.

I think the Brooklyn museum is pay-what-you-can. We also like going to thrift shops in Brooklyn but the stuff in them is not always cheap.[/quote]

Roosevelt Island tram is a good one. I live a few blocks away and enjoy doing it myself. There’s a nice rooftop bar at the hotel on Roosevelt Island, but it is pricey if you’re on a budget ($20/cocktail, I think). You could have beers there, though, and presumably the kids would have sodas. Otherwise you could grab coffees and walk around, but dress warmly. There’s also an awesome Japanese market right by the tram station (Katagiri) with relatively cheap sushi, ramen, and rice balls - it’s a fun place to pop in for a snack. [/quote]
