Affordable New York: How to do the notoriously expensive city on a budget

Julienne Schaer/NYC & Company

New York is one of those cities that’s on many a bucket list. And with good reason – this is a place where there’s always something happening, whether it’s a hot restaurant opening or a brand new island appearing on the Hudson River (seriously).

While New York is known for having oodles of buzz, character and charm, it’s not exactly considered budget-friendly. However, alongside the restaurants with prices as high as the skyscrapers and swish hotels that cost a small fortune, there are plenty of places to go, things to do and experiences to have that won’t break the bank. After all, you can go kayaking, hop on a ferry or head out for a concert in the park, all without spending a dime.
