New York City is one of the most fun and interesting places in the world.
Exploring NYC with your date is even better. Whether you're a tourist or a New York City native, it's common knowledge that the term "free" and "NYC" are rarely seen together in the same sentence.
That is, unless it's a "BOGO" buy-one-get-one-free sale when you're shopping in Time Square (which isn't actually free).
We've picked out four key spots in NYC for you to visit; check them out and have a blast, whether you're strapped for cash or not.
1. Dark Universe Space Show
This show delves into the known and unknown world of the cosmos. Stop by the Hayden Planetarium located inside the American Museum of Natural History for a trip to the Dark Universe with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
2. Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Spring means cherry blossom season, which makes it the perfect time to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The garden was constructed nearly 105 years ago by Japanese landscape designer Takeo Shiota. The BBG is the only place in New York City, where you can find plants traditionally found in Japanese gardens, all in one place.
3. Battery Park
Battery Park isn't just a park. There are ten locations within the park that make it one of New York's finest locations for a date. Battery Park is home to Statue of Liberty Vista Point, where you have an unobstructed view of the NY Harbor where you can see Statue of Liberty, Governors Island, Brooklyn, the Verrazano Bridge and more.
4. Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
Looking to keep your wallet happy? MoMA has got it covered. They've partnered with UNIQLO to give you and that special someone free access to the Museum and all exhibitions from 4PM to 8PM every Friday throughout the year!
Whether you're the richest person in the world or an "average Joe" looking to have a good time without spending a ton of money, you'll enjoy these date spots. Spend time in New York with your date - all for free!
