Don’t get down about the cold city streets forcing your back indoors, because Brooklyn Bowl has sweet deals that will warm up your heart and not your credit card.
For the entire month of November, take advantage of Brooklyn Bowl’s free bowling from 6pm to 7pm. Not only do you get an hour of free bowling, but shoe rentals are free too. The only catch is that the “Very Happy Hour” offer that takes place Monday-Thursday is limited to four people a lane.
For all you science and sci-fi nerds (myself included), the Museum of Natural History is starting a monthly lecture series/cafe mingling event that seems similar to Brooklyn’s Secret Science Club meetups.
You always hear about the free concerts that pop up all over NYC’s parks, but dance concerts are less frequent. Unless you want to fight the masses as Central Park’s Summerstage, you may not get too many other chances to see top-notch dance companies for free.
City Parks Foundation, the same people that brought you KRS-One, Chrisette Michele and Hezikiah Walker a few months back, are bringing the Tania Isaac Dance Company to the stage in Manhattan’s East River Park.
Get your dose of free laughs this Friday, June 19, in Central Park with the third annual “Comedy Central Park” show.
The free comedy show will take place at Central Park SummerStage and is headlined by Gabriel Iglesias, with special guest Pablo Francisco.
Tired of the same old bar scene each Thursday night? We know we are. That’s why we never hesitate to jump on the more novel events the city has to offer. And if they’re free? Well, then, that just makes it all the more sweeter.
“In The Flesh” is a monthly reading series of erotica hosted and curated by Rachel Kramer Brussel
The Great Wall of China. Confucius. Legend of the Overfiend. The Far East is home to many mysteries and wonders that cause us Westerners to either admire proudly from afar or turn a curious brow. Fortunately, seeing such amazing items no longer require wallet-draining trips that last a fortnight; Koreannovation is bringing some of South Korea’s hottest (and oddest) products to Penn Plaza with no cost to you.
After moving to New York City four years ago, I fell into the common trap of feeling like I could participate in the city’s extravagance the way the rich and the coddled enjoy the city. Like many others that have traveled the road before me, I had to learn the hard way that I, unlike the numerous trust fund babies and bankers, did not have a Get Free pass into the city’s limitless playground for the wealthy. Once that realization sank in and I stopped feeling sorry for myself, I was able to settle in and enjoy the real New York City. That is, the one without all the flavor of the month restaurants with their $20 cocktails and over-obsessed neophytes.
Nerds, Geeks, and all manner of Curious Cats listen up: The Secret Science Club is back and serving up two heaping scoops of knowledge for you baby birds on April 1st . This week’s topic? Mars.
