New York Walking Tours

“Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.”

― Steven Wright

We love doing walking tours when we are travelling and New York was no exception. We set a new record with four walking tours with City Rover.

Max, the owner of City Rover prides himself on giving his clients a very local experience. His tours are capped at a maximum of 12 and he showcases places many tourists would not venture to visit. Max promotes local businesses and avoids tourist traps. A lot of his walks include a popular local snack. At $39 for over three hours they are very cost effective for travellers. If you are planning a trip to New York I would thoroughly recommend a walking tour with City Rover.

Visiting the 9/11 Memorial in New York

The last time I was in New York, I stood at the top of one of the World Trade Centre towers, so I felt it was fitting that I went back to see the Memorial Site. Although it is a work in progress, as memorials go it is very tasteful. If you are planning to visit the 9/11 Memorial in New York, be sure to get your free tickets online here before you go.

Free things to do in New York

I was recently lucky enough to spend a month in New York through a house sitting arrangement. Whilst not everyone has this opportunity, New York does not have to cost a fortune to visit. Here are my top free things to do in New York!

MOMA, (The Museum of Modern Art) has free entry on a Friday evening from 4pm to 8pm. The queues are usually long but move quickly. MOMA has many works of art by famous artists including ‘Starry Night’ by Vincent Van Gogh shown below. It is well worth a visit for art enthusiasts.

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is a beautiful church that is free to enter, although you may leave a donation if you like. It has magnificent stain glass windows and sometimes hosts interesting art exhibitions.

The New York Public Library is a beautiful building both inside and out. Free one-hour tours of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building begin at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Mondays to Saturdays. You can wander around yourself during opening hours.

The streets are like one big open air gallery with interesting graffiti and street art everywhere.

A walk over the Brooklyn Bridge is a must. The views back to Downtown Manhattan are well worth it.
