If you’re running low on cash but still want a day of fun-filled activities, head down to Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan, New York. Spanning 9.6 acres, this public park opens at 7am daily. The best part about the park is that they offer over 1000 free cultural activities every year. One activity that draws a large crowd is the HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival, which is held on selected days from June to August. It airs classic films on a big outdoor screen. You can also buy food to snack on during the movie from vendors such as Burger and Lobster.

There are many free workshops held here all year round, ranging from Japanese marbling techniques to drawing and even photography. No money to splurge on a Broadway show? No problem! At Bryant Park, many Broadway hits are performed free of charge! This is the perfect place to visit if you're on a budget.
