Club Free Time is absolutely amazing! Since retiring about five years ago, I’ve probably gone to at least 200 events through it, everything from off Broadway and off off Broadway shows to concerts and dance. Most of these are things I never would have found on my own, and that’s really the appeal. It opens up a side of New York that’s a little off the radar but still very worthwhile. The value is impossible to beat.I check the site at least once a day, especially the “new in the last 24 hours” section, because the better listings go quickly. At this point, it’s become part of my routine. I still keep my TDF membership, but I rarely use it anymore because I find myself going back to Club Free Time all the time. It’s one of the few things in New York that actually makes the city feel more accessible instead of more expensive.
