No Money ? No Problem ! (yes, even in NYC). If you’re planning to visit NYC, or if you live here, here is a compilation of some cool events and activities to partake in regardless of your budget ! 

1. Fly a Plane – $100-$200

If you looked at my home page you probably noticed the huge photo of me flying across the Long Island sound. It was one of most breathtaking experiences of my life ! Learn to navigate a single engine plane on the ground, take-off, and fly in the air with the instructor, and you can bring your friend. Oh, and did I mention that you get priceless views of NYC ? Yeah, that too.

4. Paint and Sip – $19

You’ve probably noticed an influx of pictures on your timeline of people holding up paintings that they made. Learning to paint from a professional while drinking a glass of wine has gained so much publicity in the last few years. Your local bars, restaurants, and art studio’s have probably all hosted such an event. Take it a step further by learning to paint on a glass that you get to take home !
