Central Park

Central Park in New York for me is the best place to go to if you want to find attractions that can be enjoyed for free. You can spend a lot of time exploring the place and stay for a family picnic. During the summer you can find Summer Stage, concerts and Shakespeare in the Park. If you are there during the winter, there are also fun activities like ice skating.

This is the first home of the New York Stock Exchange. For some, it might not sound exciting, but for trading junky like me, it is iconic. Visiting Wall Street and looking at the buildings where many important finances used to be is very exciting.
