Chapter 8: Free & Dirt Cheap Days
Trinity Churchyard, at the foot of Manhattan, is a quiet stop on one of our Free & Cheap Itineraries.
Though New York is happy to gouge visitors for $40 bus tours and boat cruises, a person can scope out a lot of
city for no money at all. The city's close quarters mean you can hit a huge range of sights without putting excess-
ive mileage on your soles. A tour of the Financial District will walk you through 350 years of essential American
history. NYC's unparalleled subway system can take you back in time (to Coney Island) and to another country
(Brighton Beach) without even an hour's commitment to riding the rails. Or you can propel yourself: A stroll across
the Brooklyn Bridge provides stunning skyline views and intriguing history on the far side. You don't even need
to pack—Gotham's corner stores are already storing your provisions for you.
