Without the luxury of indulging in lavish meals, they prioritized free attractions. A trip to the 9/11 Memorial allowed for a solemn and reflective moment, while the Staten Island Ferry proved to be a great budget-friendly alternative for catching a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty—a must-see for any visitor. The scenic ride offered beautiful views without the hefty price tag.
As they navigated lower Manhattan, they encountered the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. Walking across it not only provided stunning views but also served as an enjoyable and free experience. After building up an appetite from all the walking, they had their first splurge on lunch: slices of pizza from Front Street Pizza, both reasonably priced at $4.50 each.
