<\/p>\"100-free-nyc-events-2013\"<\/a>\n

A couple of weeks ago, my minister asked me to come up with 100 free date ideas. Since there are so many free things to do in NYC, I thought that it would be easy to find such a list. I was wrong! As such, I thought that you would find this list handy too. Below are 100 FREE options that you can do with family and friends through the end of 2013. <\/p>\n

FYI: It would be too many outgoing links for me to include in this one post, so I will have a special pdf version WITH the links in the November Mom in the City Newsletter that will be going out next week. (If you\u2019re not already a subscriber, be sure to sign up for the free newsletter<\/a>. You will get email updates of the site\u2019s best content as well as \u201csubscriber-only\u201d special offers, giveaways and such!)
