New YorkPart 1
New York is one of the most expensive places to live which is why I ultimately decided to go to law school in Massachusetts. I think by now most people have received acceptance, rejection, and wait list letters. It's the beginning (or middle) of decision time. For me, expense was one of those considerations that I took into account when making my ultimate decision.
So I promised a few weeks ago to regale you with my travels. This segment could be more appropriately entitled Travelling to New York on a Budget. Just because New York is expensive, doesn't mean that you can't make traveling there cheap.
If you are on a limited budget, it would certainly behoove you to spend a few moments on line to make a itinerary. There are a ton of things you can do in New York for cheap / free. For example, the botanical gardens and the Central Park Zoo have free days or free times. It being ridiculously cold when I visited, I decided to spend my time indoors.
My first destination was the Sony Wonder Technology Lab. This is a fun place to go if you have kids. It's still fun if you are an adult. I would recommend going on weekdays when there are hopefully less kids and more adults. Also if you are in New York, they have free showing of movies in their theatre weekly.
The National Museum of the American Indian is unlike other Native American museums in that it celebrates the modern adaptation of Native Americans in the United States. It's in the Wall Street area and right across from the bull. It's a nice place to while some time away before lunch :-).
The last museum I went to was the Forbes Magazine Galleries . It's a nice place to visit and five minutes from the train station if you go the right way. Unlike other company galleries, the gallery is located in a separate area from the business and has it's own entrance. This is a good museum to visit if you want to go somewhere slightly off the beaten track and see toys from long ago.
Otherwise, have a great day!
