Nobody will deny that the world economy is as bad as we've seen it in our lifetimes. Nonetheless, should we really let that stop our lives in its tracks and take all the fun out of living? There are plenty of places to see and things to do, and despite what you may believe, you don't need a lot of money to do it. New York is a good example of this. There a countless attractions in New York at are affordable enough to make them part of your next vacation.
The Statue of Liberty is the great icon of New York City and you can stare at it, take a picture of it and even paint it for free. If you really want the best view of the statue, you can get it by taking the Staten Island Ferry Trip.
You can also visit ground zero, the very spot that was once home to the Twin Towers. Today on that site, you will find the plans going forward for a new tower/memorial called the Freedom Tower. There is also a memorial of the September 11th victims.
Possibly one of the neatest attractions in New York has got to be the Rockefeller Center. It was built over 70 years ago and has a lot of cool things inside like restaurants, shopping places, and more. And it also has something you must enjoy in the winter time - an ice skating rink.
For a real treat, make it a point to see the outside of the New York Stock Exchange, which is literally the embodiment of capitalism. As the icing on that cake, visit the place where our first president George Washington was officially sworn in for the first time.
Some museums in New York are free of charge during certain days, such as the Museum of Modern Art on Fridays at 4pm to 8pm, the Museum of the City of New York on Sundays from 10am until midday and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has not entrance fee any day of the week.
To get away from the noisy city environment, take a step into Central Park, New York's 843 acre park. There are boating lakes, a zoo, ice skating rinks, and a swimming pool for your enjoyment. Or you can also stroll past such high end stores as Sak's Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Company, or Bergdorf Goodman for a look at the latest designs.
Everybody will want to see the Empire State Building, which is the tallest building in New York. Then there is Times Square which we all know from New Year's Rockin' Eve every year.
