Get In Line For TKTS

Speaking of discounted tickets, the perfect way to experience Broadway at an affordable price is through the TKTS Discount Booth. Here you can choose from an extensive selection of Broadway musicals and plays on sale every day at 20% to 50% off regular prices. It’s best to go early in the day to ensure that you can get tickets to the show you want, but no matter what, a deal like this is worth the wait!

Spend A Day At The Museum

New York is known for its museums, and these museums aim to keep a college student’s budget intact. That’s right, you can enjoy the rich culture of the city’s museums for free! Just take advantage of their free days and nights, and keep your student ID handy. Stay in Queens and explore the history of film through interactive exhibits at The Museum of the Moving Image, which is free every Friday from 4 pm to 8 pm; or spend your Friday in Manhattan at MoMa for its UNIQLO Free Nights where you can see the latest exhibits in modern art.
