Why I love New York City
I love Manhattan, let me count the
ways. Being a single person I have been a minority in every single
place I've ever lived...EXCEPT Manhattan. I love that, I love that
we are the majority. I never feel like a leper here. Even the
church I attend is mostly single people. Not only is it a mecca for single people but there really are so many things to do here and really for very little money. Here are a few free things to do that I have found. I've done most but not all and if you have any ideas you'd love to share...please feel free to comment. Enjoy!

- 501(c)3 and the Prostitution of American Churches
Boy, this is a difficult article to write. It's difficult because literally every Christian I know attends a 501C3 church, so I realize that writing this article will offend many. However, we are not (as Christians) to be concerned with offending... - 4 months ago

Whatever you do, don't come in the summer..to hot and sweaty! But come, it's a great place, my favorite city.
Brie I will call ya when I get there ! And throw in lunch too. I always have wanted to see the Big Apple !
You do that Tony!
I've been to New York City many times, but not lately. I need to go shopping, take in a show. Ah, the wonder that is New York.
Even I forget how wonderful it is if I don't get out. It's a very special place.
How about watching the shell games on the sidewalk? It's pretty amazing to see people suckered into it.
I've never seen that sheila.
i love new york! hands down, the best city in the world. i would love to move there someday (soon) but as a twnety-something with not much accomplished, it may be a tough road. do you know of any opps for aspiring artists, actors or musicians that are just starting out? any connections? =] allie_pocket ps. you kind of look like tina fey. ever thought of doing "30 rock"? heheh..
Dear allie pocket: They don't say "if you can make here you can make it anywhere" for nothing. NYC is a very difficult town to survive in. It's wonderful but it is very difficult especially if you don't have relatives or connections. Yes, people have told me Tina Fey, Sarah Palin etc..but I looked like them before they did :)
What about The Staten Island ferry ? That used to be free when I lived there in the 90's and was a great tourist thing when friends would come in town.
I was told it isn't free any longer.
6.Have a picnic in Central Park and listen to free music
take that off the list!! lol
Why, it's true?
