Category: Free NYC Weekly Event List

I hope you enjoyed International Women’s Day! Did you do anything fun or attend any International Women’s Day events? I stayed on top of my New Year’s resolution to learn more about travel hacking! I attended The Points Guy event, went to Women’s Travel Fest, and Impact Travel Alliance Happy Hour.

One helpful tip about travel hacking is to stay in Airbnb! You can share your referral code, and sometimes Chase also has cash back offers for staying in Airbnb for additional savings. I met another woman traveler and she stayed in Airbnb for several months without paying due to Airbnb credits! She shared her credit with her friends and followers and surprisingly racked up enough credits for a few months to travel around Latin America!

Some helpful female solo tips for staying in an Airbnb is to make sure it is near public transportation, that the address is on a well lit street (double check on Google Maps), to make sure all windows and doors lock, and to preferably to stay with a woman host. For additional safety, you can also buy a cheap door lock for less than $20 on Amazon.

For this week’s free NYC event list expect spirituality (full moon ritual and astrology), workouts, clothing swap, wellness, and discussions about high performance, freeing yourself from conflict, and entrepreneurship.

Happy first week of March! Did everyone enjoy Leap Day? I went to a free 30 mins stretching session at LYMBR, brunch with a friend at Café D’Alsace, Silent Disco with Sputnik YOGA that had free blowouts and ear seeds, #saltbae for the free veggie burger and fries, and I got the free Popeyes chicken tenders. The free 3-piece Popeyes chicken tenders ($5.79 value) offer can take up to a week to appear, so please check periodically if the deal pops up in your app.

Being “free” #saltbae was better than I expected! I was aware of the negative reviews, but I actually liked the veggie burger and fries! The veggie burger tasted like soggy latkes (potato pancakes), but I love latkes, so this was good enough for me. I would recommend eating the veggie burger with ketchup, and the fries were well seasoned (still need ketchup though). Also even though the restaurant offers the “free” veggie burger and fries, I still tipped them $2 for the food.

A 30 minutes stretching season at LYMBR usually costs $59, and since I got it for free I technically saved $59! However, I still tipped them $10 for the service, since this would normally be an expensive service.

In addition, from the Sputnik Yoga event, I probably saved $110 alone with all the perks! Yoga normally costs $20, ear seeds can be up to $30, and blowouts normally cost $60 at Broome Street Society. Saving $174.79 is pretty good in one day alone from just the stretching session, yoga, ear seeds, blowout, and chicken tenders. Unfortunately, #saltbae did not have a price on the menu for the “free items,” so I cannot put a value mark to how much I would save.

For this week’s free NYC event list expect a lot of International Women’s Day events, workouts, panels, and travel events.

Happy March! We are 3 months into 2020! Have you been on point for managing your goals for this year so far? I have been pretty good with my goal of staying on top of learning about miles and points! I saw Frequent Miler speak in Philadelphia, and last week I went to the Brooklyn Miles and Points Meetup to learn and network with others about points!

For this month’s free events expect yoga, Pure Barre, Illuminati Party, HIIT, and doga (dog yoga).

I got some beach wavy hair in New York! I stopped by the Beachwaver x Summer Water x Jiggy Pop-up a few weeks ago, and I recorded the hair stylist doing my hair! I bought the Beachwaver 7 months ago during Amazon Prime Day, and I have yet to open the box! Now that I have a video of someone doing my hair with the Beachwaver tool, I have no excuse to not use it!

Getting my hair done is one of my favorite activities, since blowouts are easily $50. For $50, you can easily take a bus to Philadelphia, Washington DC, or Boston for a day trip.

For this week’s free NYC event list expect free yoga, panel discussions, runs, movie screening of Joker, Photoshop, goal-getters workshop, comedy show, art painting class, swing dance lesson, and a discussion about understanding your financial statement.

What are some of your favorite free events? Some of my favorite free events include getting free chocolate, having my hair curled, and getting my makeup done! Luckily last week I got a free treats gift bag at the Mars Wrigley Sweet Retreat Pop-up, had my hair curled at the LIVELY x Beachwaver x Summer Water x Jiggy Pop-up, and had my makeup done at the CoverGirl Store! And yes, all this was done for free!

All 3 events had a small wait to enter, and at most I waited 5 minutes in line. The Mars Wrigley Sweet ReTREAT was less than 10 minutes walking from the LIVELY X Beachwaver X Summer Water x Jiggy event, and I only waited 5 minutes to get my hair done! For CoverGirl I had to take a train for 15 minutes from the LIVELY store and I waited less than a minute to get a free makeover! Going to these events were well worth it because the normal price tag would have easily been $110. For the free treats bag I would put a price tag of $10, hair blowout at $50, and makeup at $50. For $110 you can easily book a round trip flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles!

For this week’s free NYC event list expect free yoga, panel discussions, runs, movie screening of Joker, Photoshop, goal-getters workshop, comedy show, art painting class, swing dance lesson, and a discussion about understanding your financial statement.

Happy February! I kicked off the first day of February by going to a clothing swap. Clothing swaps are a great way to meet new people, save money, and you also help the environment by recycling clothes. Depending on the clothing swap they are either free or charge a small fee. Most clothing swaps require you to donate 5+ items to enter, and you can usually take as much as you want at the clothing swap. However, please be mindful and do not hoard items from other people at the clothing swap.

For a recap of the clothing swap you can check my video here. In my video you can see the clothing swap layout, and the items I got from the clothing swap. This clothing swap was free to attend, and was very well organized. I would estimate that I easily saved $40 from going to this clothing swap instead of buying these clothes at a thrift shop. For steps on how to find a clothing swap, feel free to bookmark my article here. As always, please wash and dry your clothes from the clothing swap in hot water and high heat before wearing for sanitary reasons.

Happy February! Are you still lining up with your goals? This month I’m pretty excited to go see Frequent Miler in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Greg (the founder of Frequent Miler) is hosting the FM to Go event on Sunday, February 16, 2020, and I cannot wait to learn more about making the best use of points. I previously saw Greg speak at Chicago Seminars in October 2019, and he is loaded with advice about travel hacking. If you thought the Points Guy was good, think again! So yes, I’m trying to stay on top of my 2020 goal of being better about travel hacking! I want to be better about points because who does not like saving money, free flights, and free hotel stays? That is my personal finance goal for 2020!

For this month’s free events expect yoga, snow sports in the park, clothing swap, and Photoshop lesson.
