Where can a couple go that's nice and inexpensive in New York, places, dining out, museums, etc. Thank you

Answer 1

First of all, you can hit most of our museurm, things like the Met and the Natural History have signs that say "Suggested donations" with high prices. Remember these are suggested. Give them a dollar, you don't have to give them the $10 or whatever they ask for. The Guggenheim and MOMA are fixed prices and are expensive, so, if you are on a budget go to the city run museums, not the private ones.
For inexpensive restaurants, well, there is always Chinatown, you get a meal and a show all in one, or you can try little Italy, it's still somewhat of a bargin. Not all restaurants in NY are that expensive. It's hard to recommend something as I don't know where you will be, but the best thing to do is to get a copy of Zagats, or look at it on line, I'm sure you can find it by using Google, and see what part of town you will be in and find a restaurant. Always fun and saving money is to go to Duffy Square (b'way and 47th st) and get cheap seats for Broadway shows. You get tickets to whatever shows aren't sold out for the day. Don't know the cost, but how about the circle line around NYC, I've always thought that was fun and romantic. And of course, as a goof, there is taking a train down to the end of Manhattan, going to the Statan Island Ferry, going across to SI, and then coming back. Ok, so you didn't really go anywhere, but you did take a boat ride, and it's something different. And while we are one that, don't foreget Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Top of the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock (Rockerfeller State Bldg) Now that should all keep you busy.

Dinosaur - Harlem - ribs - cheap
Virgils- midown - ribs - inexpenesive

It's worth picking up a copy of Time Out New York from any news stand on a street. Reviews resturants, museums, etc., emphasizing what's free / cheap.

Answer 3

i'm fairly keen on a Thai eating position suggested as "Siam inn". that is on eighth street between 51st and 52nd Streets - an elementary walk to maximum Broadway Theatres, and very on the fringe of the fiftieth street stations on both the a million,9 subway strains and the C line. they are quick, have a mind-blowing low priced menu, and are continually so pleasant! in case you do not suggestions quite longer walk, 9th street between about forty sixth and 59th streets has dissimilar solid low priced eating places to boot.
