Attention: New York Newbies!

New to New York?  Postabon provides suggestions for not only different deals and discounts, but events and things to do. With New York City dubbed as the most expensive city in America this year, many might feel that they are living on a much tighter budget, but New York can surprisingly offer some great discounts.  Here are some suggestions of things to do if you don’t want to dish out a whole lot of cash.

Museums! The Museum of Modern Art, often referred to as the MOMA, is one of NYC’s most well-known museums.  Admission can be pricey at $20, but head there on Fridays from 4-8 pm to enjoy free admission.  Don’t want to have your plan your week around a museum’s free admission hours?  Check out the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.  Enjoy the fashion and textile history gallery at any time, since admission to the museum is always free!

Concerts!  If you want to head to a concert this summer but can’t afford the ticket prices at Madison Square Garden, head to Governor’s Island instead.  There are free concerts on the beach every weekend, featuring acts like She & Him, Dr. Dog and Lucero.  If you’d prefer to stay in Manhattan, consider waking up early on Friday morning.  Every Friday, there are free concerts at Rockefeller Plaza, where the Today Show is filmed.  Performances occur between 7-10am, but you may want to get there in advance because access is first come, first serve.  If you like John Mayer, the upcoming July 23 free concert is one not to miss!

Shows! From Broadway to Comedy, there are dozens of shows to see in New York.  If you are looking to check out a musical, you may want to see one of the longest running shows of all-time, Phantom of the Opera. If you care more about price than where you sit, consider getting seats on the last two rows of the rear mezzanine - tickets are only $26.50.  Prefer to enjoy a night of comedy?  Then head to Comedy Cellar! Your admission fee is waived if you make your reservation online.  The real laugh then will be on those who actually paid!
