I want to find some things to do in New York City for a day, but really don't have the time in money to do alot of sightseeing, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I could do fairly inexpensively to take up that day. I had originally not planned to have that day free, but it turned out less than a week before my trip I would have it free. My trip is mainly for some college related stuff so now I have to figure out how to fill this one day.

Go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET)... they only request that you make a donation (which is recommended $20). You just give them a dollar and they don't ask any questions b/c it's a donation. Sometimes I pay $20 and other times I pay $2, depends on how I feel. Outside of that, Brooklyn Bridge, Battery Park for Statute of Liberty, Central Park, Empire State Building, Times Square, walk down Canal St. if you dare, and go see the Bull on Wall St with the really big (insert your favorite noun). They are all FREE!

Visit Central Park. While I was there, there were free concerts. There is a hostel on like 98th Street near the park. They blocked off the street and neighbors brought out chairs and tables to have a block party. There was music, food, and drinks. It is in Spanish Harlem though, so some people might feel nervous. Just act like you belong.
Take the Staten Island ferry. Visit Rockefeller Center and Time Square. Get discount tickets to off off Broadway plays.

Hop on the Staten Island Ferry. Go down to South Ferry (#1) to the ferry terminal and ride to Staten Island and back for free. Excellent views of Manhattan and the Statue Of Liberty.
