What we’re about
The best things in life are FREE (or cheap or provide great value)! Our Group Mission is:
1. Bring together a group of people who love to explore NYC. Our group is dedicated especially to finding FREE events and/or very cheap value deals. We will be planning/hosting events with that spirit in mind.
***Please note we might post an occasional event that costs money
2. If we can't host/plan and event, we still want to be your source for great things to do in NYC. We will be sending out a daily email of the Top 10 Free Things To Do each day. The email will also be archived on our message board so people can comment and gather there. If we cant host the event ourselves, we still hope members can reach out and get together. ****Please not if you do not wish to receive our daily email, you can adjust your settings so you do not get the email ***
We are all about fun, social, and networking. Events will be in a melting pot of different things, kinda like our great city. Look forward to meeting you!
