Free Events, Free Things to Do in New York City! Read More
Sat, November 26, 2022. New York is full of wonderful things to do beyond the Empire State Building, Metropolitan Museum, Ellis Island, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, etc. Go off the beaten path and find hidden treasures which cost you nothing, but are extremelly enjoyable and much less crowded then famous tourist spots.
Experience New York with no lines and no hassle. Our site tells yiou all about free tours, free concerts, free movies, free theater performances, free dsicussions, etc. you can take advantage of whether you live in the city or spend just a couple of days here.
DOWNTOWN
First, go Downtown and see where New York began: visit City Hall, view the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline, walk by the fortification that was intended to prevent a British invasion in 1812, bike (or just walk) along Hudson River passing all those beautiful Battery Park City Parks with their impressive open space design and public sculptures, sit down for a pleasant meal at one of small Financial Center eateries, go inside the Palm Atrium and take a look at the 9/11 memorial from there.
Then tour New York's beautiful City Hall free of charge. New York City Hall is one of the oldest continuously used City Halls in the nation that still houses its original governmental functions. New York's City Hall is considered one of the finest architectural achievements of its period. Constructed from 1803 to 1812, the building was an early expression of the City's cosmopolitanism. City Hall is a designated New York City landmark, and its rotunda is a designated interior landmark as well. The tours that do not require reservations, but do require a signup, are run on Wednesdays at noon. The registration takes place on the day of the tour between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. You will need an advanced reservation for Thursday tours. They take place at 10 am for groups and at 10:30 am for individuals.
Your next adventure is to see the Statue of Liberty, but we do not reccomend to take the Statue of Liberty Ferry.
The best way to see the Statue of Liberty is to take a 25-minute water trip from Lower Manhattan to Staten Island by free-of-charge Staten Island Ferry. On a way there the Statue of Liberty will attract your undivided attention. On the way back (another 25 min) you will not be able to take your eyes off the stunning vistas of New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. The ferry runs every 30 min most part of the day. It runs more often during rush hours: 7 am - 8:45 am and between 5 pm and 6:45 pm; but the ferries are packed during rush hour trips; this is not a good time to take a leisurely ride.
Go West young woman (or man) once you are back on Manhattan Island: pass Battery Park (you may want to stop at the Castle Clinton - no connection with the President's family).
UPTOWN
Your Uptown trip should include a walk around Columbia University Campus, visit to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and mostly overlooked gem that the Riverside Church is.
Walk around Columbia University Campus
The University founded as King’s College in 1754. It's historic main campus consists of 71 buildings on 36 acres and was originally designed by the famous architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. Low Memorial Library is our favorite building there. If you are not sure you want to go all the way uptown to see it, you may take a virtual tour at http://www.columbia.edu/acis/tour/start.html
And if you decide that Uptown does worth your time, then there are two other sites you do have to pay a visit to: Riverside Church and The Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Film | Blade Runner (1982), classic sci-fi film with Harrison Ford
The film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles of 2019, in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bio-engineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work on space colonies. When a fugitive group of advanced replicants led by Roy Batty (Hauer) escapes back to Earth, burnt-out cop Rick Deckard (Ford) reluctantly agrees to hunt them down. The film has influenced many science fiction films, video games, anime, and television series. It brought the work of Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood, and several of his works later became films such as Total Recall (1990), Minority Report (2002), and A Scanner Darkly (2006). In 1993, it was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Seven different versions of Blade Runner exist as a result of controversial changes requested by studio executives. A director's cut was released in 1992 after a strong response to test screenings of a workprint. This, in conjunction with the film's popularity as a video rental, made it one of the earliest movies to be released on DVD. In 2007, Warner Bros. released The Final Cut, a 25th-anniversary digitally remastered version. This is the only version over which Scott retained artistic control. The film is the first of the franchise of the same name. A sequel, directed by Denis Villeneuve and titled Blade Runner 2049, was released in October 2017 alongside a trilogy of short films covering the thirty-year span between the two films' settings. The anime series Blade Runner: Black Lotus was released in 2021. Director: Ridley Scott. Runtime: 117 minutes.

Lecture | Manzoni, Dostoevsky, and Borges: Lessons to Be Learned from the Papal Reading List (in-person and online)
During the Covid-19 pandemic, pope Francis made frequent references to the chapters dedicated to the plague in Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed, the 19th century Italian novel recently translated into English by Michael Moore. An avid reader, the current Pope was exposed to many great works of fiction and poetry when growing up and during his tenure as a young professor of literature. As we mark the ten year anniversary of his election, we are able to piece together his literary journey, also thanks to the many works he has referenced in his writings and interviews. In his lecture, Fr. Antonio Spadaro will attempt to delineate the Pope's "aesthetic". Paul Elie, author of The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2003) and an authority on American Catholic writers, and Antonio Monda, an Italian writer who often deals with Catholic characters and themes in his novels, will engage in a conversation with Fr. Spadaro with the participation of translator Michael Moore.

Talk | Enriching Pursuits: A Brief History of American Jewish Philanthropy (online)
Philanthropy is not unique to the United States, but United States philanthropy is unique, especially when we consider the contributions of the American Jewish community to the larger American philanthropic landscape. The number and spectrum of organizations in America relying on charitable support is immense and broad --including mutual aid societies, hospitals, religious entities, scientific institutes, schools, and cultural heritage institutions--and their impact is virtually incalculable. Did you know that American Jewish Historical Society (AJHS) has preserved the archives of American Jewish philanthropy throughout our own history, documenting organizations as large as UJA-Federation as well as smaller local organizations across the United States? And do you know how the history of American Jewish philanthropy directly relates to larger themes in the history of American Jewish communities and individuals raising funds for vital causes, or how the roles of these organizations grow and facilitate change within their communities? Melanie Meyers, Chair of Collections and Engagement, and Tamar Zeffren, Director of Archival Partnerships gives an exploration of the history of American Jewish philanthropy through the lens of relevant collections at the American Jewish Historical Society. Let's learn together how meaningful items from these vital collections illuminate the fascinating and complex chronicle of charitable giving in the United States.

Lecture | An Engineers' Job is to Solve Problems, So Who Defines the Problem? (in-person and online)
Engineers tend to be great rule followers. Things tend to be black and white when solving a problem. You have either solved the problem or have not. But who defines what that problem is? Is it marketing, design, your boss? Engineers also tend to avoid failure which is important if you are building a bridge or in my case making toys where safety was paramount, but that often means leveraging tried and true methods. That isn't wrong, but design counterparts would say that hinders creativity and innovation. As an engineer how do you navigate that line, avoiding failure, making it work, hitting your cost and schedules and driving innovation. Speaker David Wong studied electrical engineering at Binghamton University.

Book Discussion | Grace: President Obama and Ten Days in the Battle for America (in-person and online)
Spellbinding and propulsive, Cody Keenan' book delivers a detailed account of what Keenan considers the ten most dramatic days of the Obama presidency. During that short but critically important period in June 2015, the nation faced a hate-fueled massacre in Charleston, a reckoning with race and the Confederate flag, and looming Supreme Court decisions on the fate of marriage equality and the Affordable Care Act. As Keenan writes, this succession of stunning developments put the character of the country on the line and set the stage for the most eagerly anticipated—and most consequential—words of Obama’s presidency. Taking readers inside the craft of speechwriting at the highest level for the most demanding of bosses, Grace provides a fascinating portrait of White House insiders and the team responsible for a series of high-stakes speeches during this historic stretch. Keenan grants readers access to an array of poignant and powerful behind-the-scenes moments—from the president’s late-night writing sessions in the First Family’s residence to Obama’s suggestion that Keenan pour a drink, listen to some Miles Davis, and “find the silences.”

Book Discussion | Mr. B: George Ballanchine's 20th Century
Arguably the greatest choreographer who ever lived, George Balanchine was one of the cultural titans of the twentieth century--The New York Times called him "the Shakespeare of dancing." His radical approach to choreography--and life--reinvented the art of ballet and made him a legend. Written with enormous style and artistry, and based on more than one hundred interviews and research in archives across Russia, Europe, and the Americas, Mr. B carries us through Balanchine's tumultuous and high-pitched life story and into the making of his extraordinary dances. With full access to Balanchine's papers and many of his dancers, Jennifer Homans, the dance critic for The New Yorker and a former dancer herself, has spent more than a decade researching Balanchine's life and times to write a vast history of the twentieth century through the lens of one of its greatest artists: the definitive biography of the man his dancers called Mr. B.

Discussion | The History of Antisemitism: Blood Libel (online)
Throughout history and as recently as last week, Jews have been accused of "blood libel." This history dates to the second century BCE and continued to grow, making its way into art and literature like Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, right on through the Nazi era. This panel discussion will address this history and contemporary antisemitism with Edward G. Berenson, author of The Accusation: Blood Libel in an American Town; Magda Teter, author of Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth; and Francois Soyer, author of Popularizing Anti-Semitism in Early Modern Spain and its Empire: Francisco de Torrejoncillo and the Centinela contra Judios (1674).

Book Discussion | Divine New York: Inside the Historic Churches and Synagogues of Manhattan
An exclusive tour through the breathtaking and inspirational interiors of Manhattan's houses of worship. For the past fifteen years, Michael L. Horowitz has been photographing the interiors of Manhattan's historic churches and synagogues. Though their exteriors are often unassuming and overlooked by passersby, their interiors are spectacular, uplifting worshippers and architectural devotees alike. In this book, Horowitz takes us from Lower to Upper Manhattan, from the colorful wall paintings of Bialystocker Synagogue, to the jewel-like stained glass windows of Saint Patrick's Cathedral, to the awe-inspiring wooden ceiling of the Holy Name of Jesus and Saint Gregory the Great Parish. A lively and informative text by Elizabeth Anne Hartman tells the stories behind each of the seventy-five houses of worship featured. These sacred edifices reflect the hopes and aspirations of the many different communities that helped build the metropolis, expressed in numerous architectural and artistic styles. And many of these interiors bear the imprint of notable personalities in Big Apple history, from Clement Moore of "The Night before Christmas" to pioneering Black philanthropist Pierre Toussaint.

Screening | the world like a jewel in the hand (2022): Short Film on Looted Museum Pieces
Objects held captive in museums and archives outside of the places from where they were looted are only the tip of the iceberg of the mass colonial plunder of Africa. Substantial wealth has been accumulated through the extraction of raw materials, labor, knowledge, and skills throughout the continent, including the co-option of "visual wealth" attained by putting people in front of the colonizers' cameras. This long and enduring ransack cannot be addressed through the discourse or act of restitution alone, especially when arguments are made in support of the return of individual objects only. Rather, it requires a questioning of the imperial structures of the world in which we live. Within the wide landscape opened by this questioning, this film focuses on the destruction of the Jewish Muslim world that existed in North Africa. The film insists on making it imaginable and inhabitable again. Director: Ariella Aisha Azoulay 58 min. Followed by a conversation with the filmmaker

Discussion | The Balkans and the Middle East: Contrasts and Parallels (online)
A discussion with some of the top analysts who have researched and worked on the Middle East and Balkan regions. This is a rare discussion that is often never addressed in a public forum about the parallels and comparisons between the Middle East and the Balkans. Both regions are dominated by persistent "frozen conflicts" that are centered around ethnicity and religious identities and their requisite political and civil affiliations. These regions are also engaged in power international relations that include partnerships between and with the United States, Russia, Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Israel, now post elections with the return of a right-wing Bibi Netanyahu to government and Serbia lled by autocrat Aleksandar Vucic who persists in illiberal politics are two of most dominant personalities in either region. Iran has been in turmoil with the most significant push back since the revolutionary guard uprising in the late 1970s by compulsory hijab wearihng of women citizens who have continued to protest the government crackdown on women for nearly two months that intersects with similar, echoes in the Balkans about gender based sexual violence and femicide. We will probe and discuss these issues and more in what portends to be a fascinating discussion. Panelists: Reuf Bajrovic, Vice President at the US-Europe Alliance in Washington DC; Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute Dahlia Schiendin, Political analyst and a public opinion expert Kurt Bassuener, Co-founder and Senior Associate of the Democratization Policy Council Harun Karcic, Journalist and political analyst Dijana Mujkanovic, Ph.D. Candidate at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs Moderated by Tanya Domi, Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs

Discussion | Exhaustion and Labor in the Digital Age
Author, poet, and media theorist Tung-Hui Hu in conversation with Elisa Giardina Papa discuss Hu’s new book, Digital Lethargy: Dispatches from an Age of Disconnection. As a modern ailment, digital lethargy is a societal pathology, like earlier forms of acedia, otium, and neurasthenia, but also a disease of performing selfhood under digital capitalism. Tung-Hui Hu makes the argument that digital lethargy helps us turn away from the demand to constantly “be ourselves” and see the potential of quieter, more ordinary forms of survival in the digital age such as collective inaction. He is joined in conversation by Italian artist Elisa Giardina Papa (Venice Biennale, MoMA, Whitney), whose work investigates gender, sexuality, and labor in relationship to neoliberal capitalism and the borders of the global South.

Book Discussion | Stay True: Asian American, but Out of Place
In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken--with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity--is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes 'zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn't seem to have a place for either of them. Hua Hsu talks with podcast co-hosts E. Tammy Kim and Jay Caspian Kang about his new memoir.

Concert | French Electronic Artist and Polish Cellist in Collaboration
Ego Death, a collaboration between French electronic artist Aho Ssan (aka Niamke Desire) and the Polish composer/cellist Resina (aka Karolina Rec). The duo first met as contributors to Nicolas Jaar's Weavings and quickly discovered a powerful musical connection. Pitchfork says Aho Ssan's sonic art "feels like a snapshot of something being torn at the molecular level," while Quietus lauds Resina's "evocative sound-world... moving from dreamily luminous to unnervingly dark." Together, these two cutting-edge creators have created a confrontational, complex and entrancing soundscape for this U.S. premiere. Opening is Polish experimental vocalist Antonina Nowacka, whose voice Pitchfork described as "a lone organism carving a languid path." In her work she explores an interest in the nature of sound, particularly its effect on the nervous system, as well as the ways that music can put the performer and audience in a specific state of mind.

Screening | Paris is Burning (1990): Drag Documentary
An exploration of freedom of expression, identity oppression and the underpinnings of drag culture through a screening of the documentary feature Paris is Burning (1990), followed by a discussion with a member of the New York City chapter of Drag Story Hour. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, Paris is Burning chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. Dir: Jessie Livingston 78 Min. Drag Story Hour has, since 2015, produced educational programs for children which encourage literacy and celebrate gender diversity and difference to build empathy and give kids the confidence to express themselves however they feel comfortable. However, these programs have recently been the target of protests.

Book Discussion | Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins (online)
Known as the "Saxophone Colossus," Sonny Rollins is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest jazz improvisers of all time, winning Grammys, the Austrian Cross of Honor, Sweden's Polar Music Prize and a National Medal of Arts. The story of Sonny Rollins--innovative, unpredictable, larger than life--is the story of jazz itself, and Sonny's own narrative is as timeless and timely as the art form he represents. Part jazz oral history told in the musicians' own words, part chronicle of one man's quest for social justice and spiritual enlightenment, Aidan Levy's is the definitive biography of one of the most enduring and influential artists in jazz and American history. Author Aidan Levy is the author of Dirty Blvd.: The Life and Music of Lou Reed and editor of Patti Smith on Patti Smith: Interviews and Encounters.

Tap Treasures investigated and revisited eight historic locations in Manhattan that contributed to the evolution of tap dance.

Discussion | The Influence of Jose Limon on Latin Dance
Latin choreographers, performers, and thought leaders explore contemporary Latin dance in America through the lens of Jose Limon, as well as other foundational figures in the artform, while speaking to the influences these rich legacies continue to have on current and future practices in the field. Jose Arcadio Limon (1908 - 1972) was a dancer and choreographer from Mexico and who developed what is now known as 'Limon technique'. In the 1940s, he founded the Jose Limon Dance Company (now the Limon Dance Company), and in 1968 he created the Jose Limon Foundation to carry on his work. In his choreography, Limon spoke to the complexities of human life as experienced through the body. His dances feature large, visceral gestures -- reaching, bending, pulling, grasping -- to communicate emotion. Inspired in part by his teacher Doris Humphrey's and Charles Weidman's theories about the importance of body weight and dynamics, his own Limon technique emphasizes the rhythms of falling and recovering balance and the importance of good breathing to maintaining flow in a dance.

Classical Music | Part One of Richard Wagner's Epic Der Ring des Nibelungen

As the "preliminary evening" within the cycle, Das Rheingold gives the background to the events that drive the main dramas of the cycle. It recounts Alberich's theft of the Rhine gold after his renunciation of love; his fashioning of the all-powerful ring from the gold and his enslavement of the Nibelungs; Wotan's seizure of the gold and the ring, to pay his debt to the giants who have built his fortress Valhalla; Alberich's curse on the ring and its possessors; Erda's warning to Wotan to forsake the ring; the early manifestation of the curse's power after Wotan yields the ring to the giants; and the gods' uneasy entry into Valhalla, under the shadow of their impending doom.

Lecture | Tamizdat: Banned Books from Russia and Eastern Europe
The term tamizdat, coined as a derivative of samizdat (self-publishing) and gosizdat (state publishing), refers to the publishing industry "over there," or abroad. It stands for the corpus of manuscripts rejected, censored or never submitted for publication at home but smuggled through various channels across the Iron Curtain and printed elsewhere, with or without the authors' knowledge or consent. Tamizdat was a weapon on the cultural fronts of the Cold War and remained as symbolic of the Soviet era as its more familiar and better researched domestic counterparts, samizdat and gosizdat, until Perestroika, when the Curtain began to rust. First published abroad before they could see the light of day at home, these first editions of "contraband" literature from Russia and Eastern Europe contributed to the formation of the canon. Each publication has its own history, making tamizdat a literary practice and a political institution. In the span of several decades, it paved the way for the reunification of Russian and East European literatures at home and abroad, reconciling the gap that came between them as a result of political upheaval in the twentieth century. Speaker Yakov Klots is Assistant Professor in the Russian and Slavic Studies Program at Hunter College.

Book Discussion | The Revolutionary: Samuel Sdams (in-person and online)
Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, "Samuel Adams was the man." A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams packaged and amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool in an innovative arsenal to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Stacy Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams's improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.

Discussion | Civility in Social Media and the News Media (online)
A group of scholars and practitioners will examine the role of social media and the news media in shaping civil discourse in America. They will examine how advances in technology have driven the breakdown in civility. They will address questions including: How much is technology itself to blame versus misplaced attention by those in political media (e.g. ignoring the “workhorses” in Congress; and covering “fights” and election horse races rather than policymaking)? What is the responsibility of online platforms? What has been the impact of the decline in local and community-based news sources? And how do journalists and online commentators shape how we see ourselves, see others, and interact with each other? Speakers include: Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate US/UK; Paul Cheung, Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Public Integrity' Chenjerai Kumanyika (moderator), Assistant Professor of Journalism; and Sarah Sobieraj, Department Chair and Professor of Sociology at Tufts University.

Opening Reception | The Black Civil War Soldier: Stoic Portraits and Intimate Ephemera
An opening reception and book signing for The Black Civil War Soldier, curated by Deborah Willis. The exhibition is a stunning collection of stoic portraits and intimate ephemera from the lives of black Civil War soldiers. Portraits of black soldiers, whether taken in a photographic studio, on a battleground, or on a campground, are connected to the concept of democracy and citizenship expressed by abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass. Willis seeks to engage that sense of activism and highlight the various acts of courage by black men and women, both bonded and free, during the Civil War, as well as the rewards they received. These are experiences shared by all the soldiers, no matter their backgrounds.
