Summer in the city

June is rolling away from us and July is roaring right in - you sure can feel it here in the city!
My job search has had its ups and downs and I think I'll soon be settling into a regular sort of schedule for the next six weeks. Meanwhile, I've been trying to live a minimum-cost vacation. That means free (or seriously discounted) events and simple activities, staying with friends, and eating with family. Doesn't that all sound pretty wholesome?

Some of my favorites:
1) Free sunset movies at Bryant Park
check what's playing every Monday, bring a blanket, and enjoy the warm nights!

2) Student nights at Color Me Mine
certain nights have half-off discounts on painting time, perfect for friends!

3) Central Park SummerStage concerts
most concerts are free at venues throughout the city and on the legendary mainstage in Central Park.

4) Shakespeare in the Park
provided you're willing to wait on line all day, you'll get to experience world-class, free plays.

5) The New York Botanical Garden
free entry to this lush, 250-acre garden lets you explore a wide variety of plants along winding paths, under shady trees, and past relaxing fountains.

Now, if anyone can point me towards some free eating establishments, the list would be complete!
