Central Park

Central Park in New York for me is the best place to go to if you want to find attractions that can be enjoyed for free. You can spend a lot of time exploring the place and stay for a family picnic. During the summer you can find Summer Stage, concerts and Shakespeare in the Park. If you are there during the winter, there are also fun activities like ice skating. No matter when you visit it I’m sure you will find something fun to do.

Brooklyn Bridge

It is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the country. It has been so important for New York City for so many years that it was declared a National Historic Landmark.  You can cross it on foot, by bicycle or car.
