Everyone knows it\u2019s easy to spend money in New York.\u00a0 But what if you don\u2019t want to?\u00a0 I\u2019m here to show you more great things you can do\u2026 without having to take out your wallet.<\/p>\n

Walking tours of New York are a great way to learn about the city.\u00a0 And most of them are well worth the money spent.\u00a0 But if you\u2019re looking for a more independent (and free) alternative, you should definitely consider a pod tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pod tours are unique because you can pause your iPod at any time during the tour to stop and explore on your own.\u00a0 Stop for lunch, do some impromptu shopping or take a phone call.\u00a0 You are in control of the pace of the tour.<\/p>\n

You can find free pod tours for Central Park, the Lower East Side and even the Museum of Modern Art.\u00a0 Check out a few that I found online.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to have a real live guide, there are also some great free group tours in New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example you can catch the 8th Street Walking Tour<\/a> in Greenwich Village<\/a> where you\u2019ll see where Jimi Hendrix built the Electric Lady sound studios and Barbra Streisand debuted at the Bon Soir.<\/p>\n

And instead of just visiting Grand Central Station, why not take a free guided tour?\u00a0 Every Friday at 12.30, you can catch a free tour of Grand Central and the surrounding area led by one of New York\u2019s most renowned tour guides, Justin Ferate. The Station is located in famous Midtown East, a neighborhood offering plenty of convenient and charming accommodations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
