Please 😍🇺🇸🙌

Seriously, you're one of the most important guides for NYC we have. Born and raised, yet I'm always surprised at how much I don't know. Great video
You are so welcome!
The best free thing to do in NYC is just to get lost and explore.
Ultimately it is.
Yeah just not in the Bronx
That's what I do love it might go tomorrow just because I saw this video
@@robm.8772Yankees game are worth going to the Bronx though
@@SupraBagels I'm a Bombers fan, but when I went to a Yankees game a few years ago, I actually found it boring. I'd much rather watch a hockey game.
I was literally just talking to my family about the wooden escalators! As a kid they always amused us.
Awesome as always. And educational once again. Not sure how you keep doing that. Thanks again.
Great video, Jon. You give very good tips for travellers to New York. I'm sure doing some of them when I'm later this year in the city.
This is great, thanks Jon!
Such a great vid! Thanks!
Excellent summary of free things to do. Fantastic commentary as always 🙌
Fantastic list! Ready to explore NYC without breaking the bank. Can't wait to check out these free gems!
Love this free NYC list!!!✌️✌️✌️
Me too!!
I've been to the Irish Hunger Memorial before as part of an assignment back in University. Pretty cool. And the Forest Hills Gardens is a beautiful neighborhood. Its unique architecture stands out compared to the commercial areas besides it.
What a great video - thank you!
I have been a fan of your channel for some time now. Your video's are packed with useful information. Your insight has made my trips to NYC so much easier.
Wow Jon, yet again another amazing video, i don't know how you do it sometimes!☺️ Super excited to finally go in May, haven't been there since 2012 and i miss it so much. Of course i have tons of your food recommendations, now i have even more entertainment ideas. Thank you!!☺️🙏
Hi Jon,
This video is worth more than you would expect. There’s so many great ideas for stretching the dollar!
Thanks very much for the wonderful information about NYC!
Best Wishes,
Peter
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best youtuber from New York.
I agree 100%😊😅😂
Great. My family and I are flying to NYC for 14 days this summer and I have 4 more places on our to-do list from this video. Thank you
FREE New York how interesting and enlightening, thank you John
Great video. I learned a lot. Helps in making plans. Thank you.
I love your videos! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! The hubby and I, will be visiting for the first time at the beginning of June for our 5yr wedding anniversary and we are sooo looking forward to enjoying everything NYC has to offer!
Yay! My husband and I are going at the end of May for our 10th anniversary! You guys will love it. The photo ops, the food, the architecture, the history, the food...😁😍😉
Also a favorite thing to do is to get on the subway, get off at a random stop, go up and out and find the first restaurant and eat there (unless the grade in the window is low or it just doesn't interest you lol) but I've found multiple amazing restaurants that way, places I never would have tried otherwise. Have fun!!!
Nice! I saw or was at perhaps 25% of your recommendations. Thanks for awesome information!
Great video
such a great video about NYC
You’re AMAZING! Thank you so very much for this informative video!🙌🏾🙌🏾🥰
I have lived most of my life on Long Island and I did not know about most of these places. Thank you. Really cool.
Great video! So many historical places I didn't know existed! Thank you!
This is very helpful - thanks.
Thank you, for my trip next trip. You are a wonderful new yorker.
Thanks
I can't be 100% sure as this was during my NYC trip way back in 2005, but I had always scratched my head trying to remember how a friend at the time managed to get to a rooftop view without any "swipe security pass" or a key access. I didn't think it was my friend's worksite or his apartment building; I'd say it was the number 01, free feature you mentioned in your video!! Thanks for unlocking my repressed memory 19 years ago!!
going to new york next week coming from new zealand (it'll be my first time in the US) and ive been binge watching all your helpful videos!!!! thank you so much mister sir
I have spent 29 years in NYC and i didnt know some of these place. Thank you for the informative presentation style.
Hi Jon
Great video.
Staten Island Ferry or any boat. Right side of boat is called Starboard side. Left is Port . Front is the Bow and the back is the Stern.
Just in time for my upcoming trip to NYC this week.
Very nice list of free things to do in NYC in 2024! Have a wonderful day
Love all these, ill be following this list next time im in the city man
Thanks
Love you long time Tal
I would also add to the list the recently completed East River Esplanade, a pathway and bike trail built on a pier along the shore of the East River from 53rd Street to about 62nd Street. On previous trips to New York over the past few years, I watched as this pathway came to fruition at various stages of its construction. I finally got to experience it firsthand during my most recent visit to the city this past weekend. The esplanade is beautifully landscaped and offers numerous benches to sit and take in the spectacular views out over the river towards Roosevelt Island and Queens and enjoy watching the boats go by.
Wow, very good video👍
the best summary of the free things to do .. .. .. excellent sharing .. .. .. 👍 .. .. .. and greetings from 🇮🇩 Indonesia
Such a great video bro! love how you made this video lots of good facts and locations, I never felt like I wanted to go to NY more than I do now after this video... no joke!
You should!
Cool ♥️♥️cant wait to visit nyc always wanted to go there to see what its really like. The movies or videos of it doesn't do any justice for me ♥️♥️😆😆😴😴
#1 is one of my all times favorite
And #9 too
I literally was in that Stavros Niarchos Library in Midtown Manhattan just about 2 months ago & I was so busy taking pics with their beautiful Xmas tree 🎄in their lobby that I completely forgot to go up to the 7th floor for the amazing views 😧🤦🏻♀️ lol but hey I’m a native NYer so no worries bc I can always go back for the experience haha !
Jon May cannot come any sooner ! I'm looking forward to my next trip to the Big Apple.
Holly God bless 😍🇺🇸🙌🌏Thanks so much for sharing all
Definitely worth checking out some of the free events at the Samsung store in chelsea. They post them online
Very nice Video can you do a video about restaurants/cafes with stunning interior
Lots of hidden ideas! Wonderful video, as always! I actually miss the Build Series online talk show tapings. They stopped with Covid. Saw so many wonderful celebrities, but nothing will top seeing the late Chadwick Boseman
Hi Barr, would you consider doing an ultimate tourists guide to Brooklyn? I've only been across the east river a couple times to go to things like DUMBO and cross the bridge, so I've barely even gotten my feet wet in Brooklyn. I'll be going to the border of Williamsburg/Bushwick for a concert in a few months, and I'd really like to find something cool to kill a couple hours before I go see the show.
Not a bad idea although that video would need a lot
I think Paris might disagree with the comment about NY being the fashion capital of the world, but apart from that, great video as usual. I've spent months watching your content and now my trip over there is just 9 days away 😁
Hahaha 😂
Hey Barr. I came up with this idea for your channel called “Countries in the City”.
For example, if you want to find some good Mexican food, you go to places in the city that have food from this country! I think it would be a cool addition to your channel!
#51
The “FREE CD 💿” that you are constantly being given to by people in town square
lol 😂
Best
I can not wait to visit NY city on May with my Mom and explore all of those things. Thank you so much for your videos. They are very informative!
But I am very concerned that a lot of people are warning me to not go as it is very dangerous. Can you please give me some advices.
I feel like I remember riding those wooden escalators and didn’t realize they were one of the last remaining in the entire world!
😎
9:50 that’s the charly Garcia corner lolll
Here's another: Gantry State Park in Long Island City. Beautiful pier and places to lounge, read, and picnic-- all with a stunning view of Manhattan.
bingo
I feel like people watching would be interesting in New York! lot of interesting characters there!
That's always free haha.
If I was ever short on cash and wanted to impress a date, Id take her on the literary walking tour of the village. You walk by all the old haunts or Louis May Alcott, Washington Irving, Poe, ect.
Barr the Gawd
Can you do a video with google map pins added ??
Adding "Field of Light at Freedom Plaza" also for a while
True, i didn't add it b.c it's only up for a year and i want this guide to last longer.
@@HereBeBarr oh yeah i know this is a video for reference for a while to come,
i learned of the elevated acre from this channel, one of my favorite areas, thanks for that
🙏🙏🙏
Rockaway Beach. Take the A to the S.
Hope I get to do everything you are showing here but with all the crime right now I continue to stay on another island instead of Manhattan. Long Island
Hey man, how are you? Sarah has predicted that nyc is going to be like Disney world, meaning, lots of tourists, not enough people who live in nyc. What do u think?
Sadly kind of true.
Saving to watch after work because ya girl is super broke after attending every Madonna show in NYC and NOT settling for nosebleeds
👍
whats the weather like this time of year in nyc?
I was there in 2008 for Valentine's Day and it was very windy and chilly, overcast the whole time. A day or two after we left, a ton of snow dumped in the city😅 It varies from year to year obviously, but I mean it's still very much winter in February😬
Knew about many of these. The NYCPL is amazing! And it has free tours too. Agree the Polonsky Treasures exhibit is worth walking through.
But there's no more Bed Bath and Beyond, 😂
Correct! I realized this after publish is it still there? (The statue)
Nice list! But now will see more tourists 🤔 😂
🤐
This good but also have to be aware parking aint free unless you take public transportation.
When you said the tram to Roosevelt island cost "two ninety" I legit thought you meant $290 not $2.90 😂
If scared of heights and don’t want to ride the tram from Manhattan, take the F train to Roosevelt Island instead 😊
Always enjoy your videos. And walking the Manhattan Bridge can be great. However, your red arrow is pointing at the dedicated bike lane on the north side of the bridge, and not the pedestrian walkway on the south side. Trust me, you do NOT want to be a pedestrian walking in the bike lane as it would almost definitely be dangerous.
Wow I actually didn’t notice that. Good catch
👍🤜👊🤛
I'd love for you to do a video on things to do with (little) girls. My family visited me last week and I took them to the AMNH, which my 8 year old dino-obsessed nephew loved, but my 5 year old niece was bored silly and felt like the whole day was about him, so she wanted a girly day that was about her. Her mom and I spent several hours on the internet looking for things to do with girls in NYC, but googling that just returns adult-girl trip stuff. So we sifted through tons of "kid" stuff and were dismayed to find that while there are plenty of things to do that are neutral or appeal to boys, very little is "girly". The American girl museum was about all we came up with, and that can be fairly expensive.
Contact highs on just about any street in nyc- for free!
1. Finding roaches to smoke
Nobody is buried in Grants tomb general Grant and his wife are entombed in an above ground Sarcophagus
Best thing to do to save money is to Leave
Times Square? Really? Come on! You can do better than that.
The Midnight Moment at Times Square*
@@HereBeBarr it was a great video. I was just surprised you recommended that big tourist trap.

Best way to do things for free in NYC is to come in illegally
How? The things listed in this video can be done by anyone dispite of his migration status
@@osochocolatoso I'm not just speaking on this video. I'm just letting the publuc know, that if would like to do things for free or live for for free in NYC, come illegally. Clear enough for you?
Paris is fashion capital of the world !!! don't be stupid
we've started a war hahahha
