There are over 6,500 tons of gold sitting in there, and it is quite a sight to behold.<\/p>\n<p>Visit on a weekday afternoon and sign up for the tour and you won\u2019t be disappointed, and neither will you be inundated with crowds as this interesting attraction isn\u2019t one of the better known in New York.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Brooklyn Botanical Garden<\/h3>\n<p>Another place to enjoy some (relative) peace and quiet is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.<\/p>\n<p>You would normally need to pay to enter this beautiful spot, which is found on the edge of Prospect Park, but on a Tuesday, it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n<p>There is a zoo, a lake, and historic buildings, and it is well worth a trip. Plus, be sure to check their event\u2019s calendar for shows, exhibitions and other attractions!<\/p>\n<p>There is always something happing throughout the Garden and don&#8217;t forget that there is also the New York Botanical Garden, located in the Bronx (featured image). It&#8217;s just as, or even more, fabulous with countless attractions to experience!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Hamilton Grange<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to the worldwide sensation that is <a href=\"https:\/\/hamiltonmusical.com\/new-york\/home\/\">the musical \u2018Hamilton\u2019<\/a>\u00a0is perhaps at an all-time high.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it makes sense that a lot of people will want to check out his estate in Harlem, known as Hamilton Grange.<\/p>\n<p>Thought to be the only property that this founding father ever owned, you can just imagine the splendor, especially as it was once surrounded by rolling countryside.<\/p>\n<p>This is a free attraction to visit and a wonderfully evocative one too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Art Installations<\/h3>\n<p>There are many different art installations in New York, and some are particularly impressive.<\/p>\n<p>If you head to SoHo, you\u2019ll find two that really stand out (and that are free to see).<\/p>\n<p>Both created in the 1970\u2019s by artist Walter de Maria, they are called \u2018Broken Kilometer\u2019 and \u2018New York Earth Room\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>They are surprising and thought-provoking, and perhaps not what you would expect art to look like, which always makes something a lot more fascinating.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Yoga Classes<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18975\" src=\"https:\/\/www.behindthescenesnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Yoga-Bryant-Park-Free-Events-Behind-The-Scenes-NYC.jpg\" alt=\"Yoga Bryant Park Free Events Behind the Scenes NYC\" width=\"1200\" height=\"872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.behindthescenesnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Yoga-Bryant-Park-Free-Events-Behind-The-Scenes-NYC.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.behindthescenesnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Yoga-Bryant-Park-Free-Events-Behind-The-Scenes-NYC-400x291.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.behindthescenesnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Yoga-Bryant-Park-Free-Events-Behind-The-Scenes-NYC-1024x744.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.behindthescenesnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Yoga-Bryant-Park-Free-Events-Behind-The-Scenes-NYC-768x558.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.behindthescenesnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Yoga-Bryant-Park-Free-Events-Behind-The-Scenes-NYC-420x305.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.behindthescenesnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Yoga-Bryant-Park-Free-Events-Behind-The-Scenes-NYC-610x443.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yoga and New York are a match made in heaven.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a busy, frantic (yet marvelous) place, so being able to slow down and re-set is important from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>Some yoga classes are hugely expensive, but if you head to Bryant Park on a Tuesday at 10am or a Thursday at 6pm, you can join in with the free classes that are held on its upper terrace or the lawn (the location alternates).<\/p>\n<p>Visitor or local, these classes will make you feel relaxed and calm, ready to face the world.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you have your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theiconic.com.au\/aesop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aesop<\/a> deodorant for when you work up a sweat!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Free Movies<\/h3>\n<p>During the summer months, some of the parks in New York City offer free movies nights.<\/p>\n<p>Bryant Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park are just two of the participants, but there are many more \u2013 it will all depend on the dates you\u2019re visiting and the kind of movie you want to watch.<\/p>\n<p>Pick the one that suits you and go along to the park with a blanket or chair.<\/p>\n<p>The movies will begin as soon as it gets dark, but you\u2019ll want to get there early to find a good spot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Beaches<\/h3>\n<p>That\u2019s right; there are beaches in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Coney Island is perhaps the most famous, but that means it also becomes the busiest during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a place to go that is less full of people, Brighton Beach (close to Coney Island, but far enough away to make a difference) is where you should head.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to surf, head to Rockaways Beach in Queens.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all free, although you might end up spending a bit of cash on hotdogs and ice creams.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Grand Central Station<\/h3>\n<p>You can visit the stunning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behindthescenesnyc.com\/behind-scenes-tour-grand-central-terminal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grand Central Station<\/a> for free, and you don\u2019t have to be catching a train to do it either.<\/p>\n<p>The station is over 100 years old but has lost nothing of its glamor and splendor.<\/p>\n<p>The Whispering Gallery is particularly fun. It\u2019s found near the Oyster Bar, and if two people stand under diagonal arches, they can whisper and still be heard by their companion.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"credit\">Photo Credits: \u00a9BehindTheScenesnNYC<\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, our city is one of the most expensive cities in the world, but there are also pretty amazing things to do for free in New York!
